A network communication method used in a network communication apparatus is provided that includes the steps outlined below. An external network communication apparatus is electrically coupled through a communication path. A communication capability packet is transmitted to the external network communication apparatus. Whether an acknowledgement packet from the external network communication apparatus is received through the communication path is determined. When the acknowledgement packet is not received, a single direction communication is performed within any single time period by using a time division communication mechanism such that an auto negotiation process is performed by exchanging the communication capability packet and the acknowledgement packet of both of the network communication apparatus and the external network communication apparatus.

A network apparatus for eliminating interference between transport ports includes a plurality of transport ports, a plurality of seed comparators, and a control unit. The plurality of seed comparators are coupled to the plurality of transport ports, respectively, wherein a first seed comparator is utilized for comparing a first seed of a first transport port with a second seed of a second transport port and accordingly generating a comparing result. The controlling unit is coupled to the plurality of seed comparators and the plurality of transport ports, for generating a control signal to cancel interference between the plurality of transport ports according to the comparing result.
