Latitude E4300 Wired LAN Issues

Hi all,

My Latitude E4300 is giving me constant issues whenever I swap from Wifi connection to inbuilt Wired LAN.

My E4300 is Win7 pro (New Installation .... ) Intel 5300 wifi card.
I also have netgear Router & switches which have Gigabit ports.

Whenever I swap between wifi & LAN .. most times I dont get a Gigabit connection. In Fact it was showing as 10mb Connection this morining after 2 system reboots. Gigabit connection seems to be sporadic.

Just to say as well ... I have an older latitude D410 which works flawlessly negotiating Gigabit connection on exatly the same cable everytime I swap between wifi & LAN... so is is safe to say the issue is not the routers/cable

Any clues?

cheers

Try look in Device Manager for settings related to your network adapter. You may be able to force a Gigabit connection or change some other setting.

I don't know how that will affect network performance if there is actually a different issue present which is causing your troubles.

 

Have you tried the latest LAN driver by chance? Windows 7 sometimes will find very old drivers.

 

i will try n install new drivers to see if that solves the problem

cheers

 

Are you running on battery? Perhaps the system is disabling the on-board LAN to save power?
