     There are also some settings on the card itself usually (the device).   
      
     In the device settings dialogs, there is a page where hard 100Mb/s is   
   selected or "auto", which is what the whole world typically uses.  Hardly   
   anyone hard sets a link to 100Mb/s. Auto negotiation has usually been the   
   rule.  Anyway, there are quite a few other settings there as well.   
      
     This is not registry settings, it is for the card itself in device   
   manager (there are also other ways to get to this device dialog).   
      
   Try examining that. Perhaps you hard set it to 100Mb/s, which was "auto".   
   If so, that is one of your mistakes.
