How come there's no 1000Mbps half/full settings?
The performance
problems I'm having are when I'm connecting to a gigabit network. Will
setting to 1000Mbps auto help?
The biggest blessing of gigabit ethernet isn't 1000bps, it's a decent
auto-negotiation standard. auto/auto is a hell of a lot more reliable
between gigabit devices than 10/100 or 10Mbit, so your situation is a
little odd.
It sounds like XP has your adapter forced to something Not Right.
I'd check the MTU first, make sure you're not on a jumbo-packet network
or pushing jumbos on a 1500MTU net, then I'd try 1000Mbps/auto and see.
Not like you're going to cook anything. :)
