Vista - 1000Mbps setting for network cards. . . Missing

Hello
I cannot see a setting for the 1000Mbps Full or Half Duplex with either of
the Gigabit lan's in my conputer. Thought the problem may have been with the
motherboard on board lan so I installed another card. Both "auto config" both
say they are connected at 1 gig into the gigabit switch.
But when you go into Device manager, right click device. .properties. .
advanced tab. . .I cannot find the 1000Mbps listed any where under the Speed
and Duplex settings it just has the 10Mbps Full & Half and 100Mbps Full &
Half.
Transfer rates from computer to computer remain at 100Mbps speed (7-8
meg/sec) not at 1000Mbps (35-40 meg/sec I was getting with XP) as connection
lights are showing.


Any Ideas

Just so that you know it is not a inherent flaw in Vista, on my system there
is a selection for
'Link Speed & Duplex' of 1000 Mbbs Full Duplex (no half)

Vista Home premium (32 bit)
Dell XPS 410, on board Ethernet controller Intel® 82566DC Gigabit Network
Connection

I do not have a Gbit switch/router so cannot actually say that it works,
only that the option is presented.

During my system (re)build I did download a driver for this network
connection from the Dell site so it might be that the 'generic' Vista driver
doesn't know about Gbit (seems unlikely) but the normal advise to check for
updated drivers never hurts.
