Hmmmm....are you set for auto-negotiate? Some of the switches I work with (3Coms believe it or not) don't auto-negotiate well at the higher speed. Beyond that I can't think of anything off the top of my head.

What type of cable are you using...Cat5, Cat5e or Cat 6? Cat 5e is the minimum recommended for gigabit and Cat 6 is preferred. Standard Cat 5 is iffy at that speed.
My cables are 10' Cat 6 - I've tested on several machines / cables - including Cat 5e.
