[QUOTE="Jay_UK, post: 884010, member: 98509"] Hi there Welcome to the fustrating world of gigabit!! In theory everything should work just fine - but it doesnt! I've had a recent issue where it does not matter what I tried, I could not get a PC to run at gbe speeds. I fully rebuilt it, different cables, drivers, ports - nothing worked. In the end I fitted an Intel NIC. Although that initially only wanted to be 100, but after a bit of tweaking its now gbe :) Another example... I have another machine connected gbe speeds...works fine.... I inserted a another gbe switch inbetween the PC and the main switch.... and now the interconnect speed is only 100mbps - WTF!! I am using Netgear switches....and I am beginning to think they are shite! :( People do suggest certain tricks like "fully unplugging" the hardware to let things discharge....or turning off "green" ethernet, etc... Dont have this trouble at work (using decent kit) where everything works at 1gbe and 10gbe speeds :D J. [/QUOTE]
