I'm sorry. The only thing I have to say is that I'm jealous, very, very
jealous. Really, the only thing that I can think of (not having any
experience with Gb ethernet) is to see if the NICs are set to Auto detect or
not. I know that we had problems on our Dells with the NICs set to Full,
also had the same problem on a Compaq server. Once set to Auto detect then
everything went back to the full 100 Mb speed, but when set to Full it was
slower than a 10Mb network.

Still very, very jealous. 😉
