When you go to Network in Control Panel and select the Advanced tab under your network card and lick Media type, can you force Full 100Base TX?

I wouldn't recommend forcing it unless you're on a network that is also running at 100Mbps. It would make no sense to try if you weren't anyway.

Auto normally works, but I have seen with some Cisco routers that you have to force the speed and 'plex. Can't hurt, if you know that the hardware you are connecting to supports the speed (I.E. 10/100 hub or switch)

Good luck getting anything over 10M down anyway!! You really won't see a difference betweek 10M and 100M if you are looking at Internet traffic. Your pipe to the Internet isn't 10M.
