There was a firmware update for the DC7700 that fixed a problem with their NICs..

The refurbished DC7700's SFF's I have here have Intel 82566DM nics. I just use the latest v18 drivers and it's totally fine (netgear/hp procurve/dlink switches depending on site).

Have you tried Windows 7 on one of them? Does it connect at 1gpbs without any problems?

[Geoff]

Nah these are all XP

Hi Chris, Do you think installing w7 will help me trouble shoot it better?

Well, A little update for you all. Windows 7 works fine on gigabit. Any ideas why this would happen? I know for 100% it isnt our network so it must be XP its self. Let the games begin.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
