Interesting, you mind explaining how to set this on the Targus Giga Ethernet Properties? I can only set a MAC address, VLAN ID, and Wake on LAN.
I have multiple other machines on the same network with Gigabit capability and have no issues with them on my Cat5/100Mbit network.
Where is the 'auto negotiate' setting on the dock or are you saying it is something the manufacturer (Targus) would have to set?
I'm just trying to understand. I appreciate the info and as I noted, just connecting the dock to a gigabit desktop switch that is connected to my network is working reliably now. Never had a gigabit capable device have problems before on my network. I am only posting as it was a pain for me and hopefully it helps someone. Thank you!
