and exactly how are you getting 'much higher' speeds than 10mb/s?
do you sleep in a space shuttle, bro?

No need for a new mobo. Just buy a quality GigE NIC.

You have got to be kidding. You can't possibly love Linux that much to say something so nonsensical.

If it's a software issue running a different OS will tell you so. Which is what he said.
DancinJack wrote:Well, here is what I did. Uninstalled old drivers. Installed new ones, no luck. Tried most recent drivers from Gigabyte and Realtek and that didn't work. Then right after that, my NIC continued to stay stagnant as "network cable unplugged" for about an hour worth of me trouble shooting. I tried band new cables for both the modem and router, still no luck. I took apart the main parts of my pc, unplugged all the cables, cleared the cmos and discharged the caps. I then proceded to install the driver from the Installation cd from which I got with my mobo from Gigabyte. It halted at "installing driver.' (Which I had done perviously in the night) I restarted my computer and seriously eveything is working fine now. Anyone have any idea what would have caused an issue like this. I don't have any other OS's installed on this drive. I haven't added any new significant software, aside from an update to chrome. Just couldn't figure it out. If anyone else has come across this problem and found a solution without spending any bones, i'd love to hear what you had to go through. Thanks for all the help everyone and i'm glad i finally have my netz back.

They already tried driver reinstalls, I'd try nothing more than a malware check on top of that to cement the fact that it's not a software issue.
