Gigabit Lan on UD3P?

[litlgi74]

Does anyone here actually have a true GB Lan using the onboard Lan of the hacintosh using the UD3P board or an add on NIC?

I have yet to achieve speeds of 60MBs for more than a second or two... It drops to 10MBs or less very quickly...

Please help.

Are you using this system as a hackintosh? If so, I recommend you state so in your OP as it will avoid confusion and possible moving of this thread to a more appropriate forum. Thanks.

sorry... I am using it as a hacintosh... I should have been more clear. Can you move this thread to the appropriate forum?

You need to specify how you installed your hack.. like for example I used the UD3P/R1000 installer. Also what are you pulling from? Are you sure its capable of transferring that quickly? Most NAS units aren't able to keep up with even Gbit.

I installed the lifehacker approach: http://lifehacker.com/5360150/install-snow-leopard-on-your-hackintosh-pc-no-hacking-required

I am sending and pulling from a Shuttle SA76G2... (MARVELL 88E8057) connected to a SansDigital 16TB Raid 5 via a rocketraid 2314.

I have also tried to my MacBook Pro... painfully slow... but then again sow is the MacBook Pro!

I also tried installing a TRENDnet TEG-PCITXR: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833156139 no improvement!

Sounds like your source might be creating a bottleneck- or some other networking issue. Are you positive you get consistant gigabit speeds over the same connection with other machines? Whatever switch/router you're using is set up correctly, and you're using the right cables? (IE: Cat5e?)

I've set up quite a few EP45-UD3P based Hackintoshes (using the LifeHacker method as well) and gigabit Ethernet definitely works.

Open Network Utility select Ethernet from the drop down menu, what Link Speed say?

I think this is what you were asking for?

No this:
