<div class="im">I know you've already RMA'd it, but did you check your ethernet cable? When I first started using gigabit ethernet I found that some cards were less forgiving than others when the cable was questionable. If you get a new box and it still has a problem, you'll probably want to look there.<br>

<div>Thanks Ramon,</div>

<div>Actually, I did check the cable... it was straight through (pin-for-pin) and all the wires touched the end of the plug on both ends. I checked it because I thought exactly what you thought. Someone recently told me that it's part of the gigabit-ethernet spec that the gigabit device detect crossover/straight cables and work with both no matter what. I haven't checked this on my gigabit devices. Really the only other thing I could blame it on is the driver, and it's the same driver that all you guys are using: forceware.</div>
