Should not be a problem though.. Cat 5e is supposed to fully support gigabit, and in fact does. All of the cabling in my little home network is cat5e, and gigabit has been working without trubs for some time..... In fact, I think the nic may have been the problem all along. Would work 100/full, but could not hold at 1000 for very long.. In the other nic, it has been running solid gigabit for almost a week...
nhansam - Did you try checking your nic settings, to see if Gigabit is an option? Mine did not display as an option, but I have found if I set it to auto-negotiate, this other nic seems to pick it up ok.. Good luck!
