    SOLVED: Computer not transferring at Gigabit. HELP!

    Never mind fellas. Maybe if I would have tried a different Ethernet cable first, I could have saved myself a ton of headaches. Swapped out the cable and boom, 70MB/s.

    Newbie needs some help!!

    For anyone with this problem, the appropriate Vista driver (32 or 64-bit) work with the comparable Win7 OS. If your not sure about the hardware working, I found that microsoft has a hardware/software compatibility resource on the windows 7 official site.

    Newbie needs some help!!

    Thanks for the help. But I still think I should be getting much faster transfer speeds than 95mbps. I mean, shoudlnt I at least be seeing 200-300mbps minimum? My comps are both AMD x64 Dual Core 2.5ghz processors, 4gb ram, and the like. And I just read the updated review of the DIR-655 A4 which...
