I've tried another cable (shorter in length) and works fine even tried with different laptops, they all have 1GB connections. How would you force it be at 1GB?

Its just this crimped cable that i've made which is 25m+ which doesn't want to work. But the shorter cable i crimped at about 1.5m works fine at gigabit.....

Many Thanks
