Problem with 1000 Gigabite Ethernet Connection

[mra85]

Hi

I have following hardware installed on FreeNAS-8.0.3-RELEASE-x86.

Intel P4 3.0Ghz CPU
Intel D945GTP MB
4x1GB PC-667 Kingston Memory
4x2TB WDGreen Disks

The Intel Board has a 82573E Ethernet Controller. (Link: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/15171/eng/D945GNT_D945GTP_ProductGuide03_English.pdf)

Unfortunately i can't activate the gigabit mode with ifconfig.

I tried the following command in the shell: "ifconfig em0 media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex"
After this the ifconfig entry is set to 1000baseTX but the server is offline.
After a reboot the settings are again 100base TX full duplex. -.-

Is this a common problem? Is my NIC incompatible, should i buy a separate PCI NIC?


Sry. fore my english :) Best Regards

Are you sure your card is connected to 1G-capable device (router, switch) using proper Ethernet cable (CAT5e or better)?

Yes I am 100% sure. 1G Connection on windows xp prof works fine....

Please post
/var/log/messages

contents here as well as ifconfig

Maybe somebody will spot something.

I think you meant 1000 Megabit or 1 Gigabit.

ifoncifg:

If I type in "/var/log/messages" i receive the message "/var/log/messages: Permission denied"

This happens local on the shell and also via ssh as root user...
