Just checking my local network prior to configuring my new laptop.
This PC is showing a Gigabit network adapter running at 100 Mb/sec.
The network is Gigiabit, through the switch to the router.
Any first things to check?

Does your cable have all four pairs of wires?

Whole house is wired Cat5E (IIRC) and has a Gigabit switch under the
stairs.
First time I've noticed this.
Always seen 1 Gigabit on PCs with that capability.
I feel some cable checking coming on, but this is all very strange.

This is ringing faint bells.
If Windows is showing it as a 1Gbe NIC, it ought to be able to run it at
1Gbe speed ...

I'm chasing down a known Intel problem with drivers and auto negotiation which can result in 100 Mb speeds on a Gigabit Intel chip.
We shall see.
