Re: 1GB Network

Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with the computer connecting at 1GB on startup, but the intial installation of windows and then the NIC drivers it would not connect at 1GB until I powered off the switch and turned it back on again.
Is there something I need to do to the switch? or the modem/router that's connected to it?

My switch is a 3COM 3C1670500B

did you try to force both PC's to go to gig mode? also make sure any QOS or offload is set to off or atleast paired with each other so negotiation can occur correctly.

All cables are CAT6

yes understood, i had asked the original poster to check all ingredients including cables ... auto-negotiate would have dropped card rate down if the cables were crunk.

You also need to be using good quality cables in order for the 1G
signals to work. 10, 100 and 1G networks all use the same basic
network cable connectors but 1G network signal seem to be using
different wires with-in the cable. 100 networks uses more wires than
just the plain 4 wires that 10 networks use.
