there seems to be some amount of voodoo in getting gig to work

1st Stop Big XXII....Then Maybe a BCS bid.

Broadcom Netxtreme 57XX adapter. How do I get it to run at GB speeds? Advanced - Youreviltwin 2008-10-02 18:19:47 (45 views)

Keep it on auto-negotiation. Is the switch/hub/router that you are connecting to also gigabit? - daves4izzle::ASP 3- 2008-10-05 09:57:49 (24 views)

No... - Youreviltwin 2008-10-08 15:36:44 (17 views)

Then you're not going to get a gigabit connection...simple as that. - daves4izzle::ASP 3- 2008-10-15 21:10:28 (11 views)

Lol at both of you. Read the rest of my posts. Of course this was covered. - Youreviltwin 2008-10-19 11:19:09 (8 views)

I don't understand...you admit that both ends of the segment are not gigabit, yet you still expect - daves4izzle::ASP 3- 2008-10-24 19:18:49 (9 views)

nooo.. I never admitted that. In fact they are. - Youreviltwin 2008-11-10 13:31:27 (2 views)

Many times 1000Mb is only used when auto negotiation is selected. Do you have an auto - Bill In SoCal 2008-10-02 18:55:45 (28 views)

I did that first, autoneg was 100mb full. - Youreviltwin 2008-10-03 10:31:46 (21 views)

Seriously, I switche a Cat 5 cable for a cat 5 cable and it works. - Youreviltwin 2008-10-08 15:37:38 (10 views)

Cat 5e is more than adequate for gigabit ethernet. It's very easy. - daves4izzle::ASP 3- 2008-10-05 09:58:38 (20 views)
