obviously the cat 5 cable was plugged in hence i ask how you'd get gigabit ethernet from a cat 5 cable!

I've tried a number of different cat 5 patch cables some brand new and some old and none of which do gigabit, but then when plugging in cat5e i get gigabit, so no it's not the pc hardware either; i dont beleive that all those cables are faulty, it's just not possible!

Theres got to be another solution to which your probably not aware of.

I meant to say the wires were stripped with a wire strippers and then the 'string' inside was used the peel/rip the plastic sleeve, and then cut away any nicks.
