Gigabit NIC Running @ 100Mb

[Rob T]

I just purchased and installed a gigabit router (Linksys WRT310N) , and
gigabit NIC's (D-Link DGE-530T) for two of my computers. Installation was
successful for all three devices, and the 1000 Mb led is illuminated. The
problem, however, is that both Windows and the Linksys EasyLink Advisor
indicate the connection speed is 100Mb. Is there some patch or setting for
Windows (XP Pro SP 2) that's necessary in order to make them run at 1000Mb?

Hi
The Giga is up to the hardware and the Card's drivers (no patches are
needed).
The OS does not measure the Network transfer, it reads the info from the
Card's Drivers.
Look at the Giga cards properties make sure that they are Not set to
100Mb/sec.
