Problem with NT 4.0, Proliant 5500 and Intel PRO/1000 T NIC

I'm hoping that someone might have some insight on the problem I ran into. For some reason I'm unable to get true Gbit speed out of Intel PRO/1000 T NIC when installed on Proliant 5500 running NT 4.0. We use WS-X6316-GE-TX Cisco blade that works well with other devices. Speed (determined via some crude tests) is that of 100\F connection. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Andrew:

You could try a newer (less than 30 days old) driver from Intel:
