Today I plugged my server into a new gigabit switch but when I run
ie: its only running at 100megabits.
I tried running:
but this didn't help. I know for sure that the NIC is a gigabit one and I also have two other machines plugged into the switch and they get gigabit speed.
Do I need to reboot the server or force gigabit speed? I thought it would have just auto negotiated it...
Here is the network card details:
ifconfig
it shows:
Code:

I tried running:

but this didn't help. I know for sure that the NIC is a gigabit one and I also have two other machines plugged into the switch and they get gigabit speed.
