Scott/Rick,
Good points both. I forgot to mention cable type because I figured that any
network cable in play now would be CAT5E or maybe CAT6. I have never used
a CAT5 cable.
I bought most of my network cables 10 years ago and did spec CAT5E. I have
yet to test any CAT6; but, if I ever do internally wire my house, I may
spec CAT6
Best,
Duncan

Agreed -- If plain cat5, could be the problem. When I installed some
gigabit switches at work (original CAT5 cable runs were done in early
90s) some computers / ports went to full gigabit speeds, some stayed
at 100. Had to rerun some cables.
My understanding is that auto-negotiation for port speeds is fairly
reliable now... but you could always try forcing the computers to
gigabit if the cables should be good.

I think cat5 will run at 1G if the run is fairly short.
(All other nics, etc, need to be 1G though...)
