Gigabit network device running at 10Mbps

[JustinC939]

I have an Asus A8N-e that I'm running XP64 on, and I've installed the latest Nforce drivers for this board, and my Network device is only running at 10Mbps.

Is there a way to find the actual manufacturer for the NIC so I can try their driver?

What is it connected to. A Gigabit card is only going to run at 10 Mbps if the port on the other end will only run at 10 Mbps. Many older cable modems only ran at 10 Mbps since the service was less than 1/2 that speed.

On a side note, if you plug 2 gigabit devices into a gigabit switch that is uplinked to a 10 or 100 Mbps network, the communications between the 2 gigabit devices will remain at gigabit speeds.

No, I have a Gigabit switch that connects to all PCs in my house, all of my other PCs run at 1Gbps speeds.

And this problem didn't exist whle running XP Pro x86

And yes the motherboard is flashed to the latest BIOS, and i tried to manually configure it under the advanced tab in network connections.

And it will not connect at any speed other than 10Mbps

Connected as a 802.11B device instead of G?

He is on a GB wired Switch.

Do you have a marvel connection on the motherboard to try? I have found some issues with the Nvidia lan and Cisco equipment resulting in the same problem. (Granted this is a different scenario)

[madhatter256]

What kind of cable are you using? Are you sure you're using Cat6 cable?

[JustinC939]

My House is wired with Cat5e, and no I don't have a marvel connection to try.

Maybe, but that's not what he says:

"Netgear WG311 (Wireless, primary NIC right now)"

That's my sig but I wasn't the one with the problem...
