I've had my PC containing a P4C800-E Deluxe connected to my Netgear gigabit switch for over a year. Last week, I suddenly lost network connectivity. More specifically, I lost the ability to communicate over the network when plugged into the gigabit switch. Thinking at first something happened to the switch, I plugged it directly into my 10/100 router and it was fine. I then proceded to do some troubleshooting, including the following:

Tried all 4 gigabit ports-link light comes on, no network connectivity
Changed cables
Checked driver was latest version (it is)
Changed from Auto/Auto to 1000/Full

I thought it had to be a problem with my gigabit switch, but I have 2 other PCs using it with no problems (they both work at 1000 full on all ports). Nothing I do will get this motherboard's Pro1000 port connecting at gigabit. Any suggestions? Anything I've missed? Nothing was changed on this PC by the way.

That same thing happened to me. Then eventually the MB died, and wouldn't even post. I'd RMA it if possible.
