If it's running at 10Mbit, it will never be full duplex.  If you're
running at 100, then it could be full or half.  If your network cables
only have four leads connected, you're using 10.

Other than that, cram it in a (decent quality or better (read: NetGear
or cisco) ethernet switch and see what the lights tell you.
