i know my ports are not coded to only use 100mbps as i checked this the other day and they both said auto negotiation. i have checked both ports and they look to be fine and undamaged and after running the command line Falcon1986 gave me earlier i am now getting the correct speed. i now want to know what exactly that command line did and what it changed

I have tried at least 3 cables all cat 6. the switch is the only break in the cable from my router to my pc so i ran the command propt and it was enabled. So i disabled it and rebooted my pc and now i am getting 250mbps and when i check control panel it says 1Gbps now. What did that command do?

so I got Ubuntu running off a usb stick. Do I need to install any drivers for it to run at 1Gbps? Currently just booting it up and checking the settings it is saying 100Mbps.

i would have to get ubuntu but sure. I will have to do that tomorrow and get back to you

i dont think i have any software for networking. also no power issues recently.

if i plug them into each other then they both say 100mbps

so what do you want me to do? plug the computer into the laptop with via ethernet?

if i plug the cable into my PC then it says 100mbps. If i take that same cable and unplug it from my PC and plug it into my laptop it says 1Gbps on the laptop.

yes i get 100mbps no matter what port i plug into

no it shows 1Gbps on the laptop but 100mbps on the pc

done. No change

if i use the same cable into my laptop it says 1Gbps

unlikely but i suppose it could be possible though i dont think he would even know how to do that. Is there a way i could test it?

the cable to my switch was crimped by my dad i dont know how he did it but the cable to my computer is one supplied by Virgin

cable is good it gives 250mbps when plugged into my laptop. dont know why the IP is odd looks normal to me. what is odd about it? if i plug the cable into the 2.5 i still get limited to 100mbps
