First of all, are you using high quality patch cables that are certified for
100-Base-T?

If you buy your patch cables, I would reccomend that you buy patch cables
certified as Cat-5e.

If you install the Intel Proset software that came on the CD, you can bring
that up, and try changing the speed setting there. It normally defaults to
auto-set, but you can manually choose your speed.

Has anyone else noticed a problem with the onboard "Intel
Pro/1000 CT Desktop" ethernet controller only detecting a 10 MB
network, even if you're on a 100 MB network?


How can you tell? I have a P2P with three computers (two now since the
notebook is in the shop), and I have no problems that I'm aware of.

Their stupid software thinks there's a bad wire or something, and I

tested
all 8 wires myself, and
they're fine. I even tested it with multiple patch cords.


Is it generating errors?
