I have replaced my 100mb NIC with a TP-LINK gigabit NIC [Realtek 8169]. I
am using drivers for it that work fine in 100mb mode but I cannot get it to
operate at the 1Gbit speed.
The NIC is connected to a 8 port 1gigabit switch which indicates only a
100mbit connection. I have noted that the NIC in the WinXP boxes do not switch to 1gbit until the driver has initialized the card. That is; the card at power on is at 100mbit until told otherwise.
The driver I am using is rtgnda12[.zip] and dated 12/2006 so the drive is not old. I also tried the GemMac stuff, but I could not get is to work at all.
The cabling is Cat5e from the OS2 NIC to the ethernet switch
Anyone with some ideas please??
