SUMMARY: Gigabit Ethernet Card settings

Hi all,

Thanks to everybody who replied with their input, in particular
Padraig Lennon who gave the correct solution.

1. I made sure Auto Negotiation was off on the switch side
2. Entered the following into /etc/system:
* Begin Gigabit Network interface settings
set ge:ge_adv_1000autoneg_cap=0
set ge:ge_adv_1000fdx_cap=1
set ge:ge_adv_1000hdx_cap=0
* End Gigabit Network interface settings

Everything is looking peachy now.

regards
