Pretty much any lappy you are likely to be using will have a 1Gb capable network port, the cables used are also going to be OK.
Is it possible to try a Linux live system - used to be easy - go to newsagent, but Linux Format and boot DVD but the magazine isn't supplying discs at this time, but you can download and burn to DVD or USB, boot from that and retest. This can remove the O/S as possible cause. You can also check the NIC's settings to see what the laptop thinks it should be configured as. (Others can show how to get same info from Windows).
