I am running a Redhat Linux ES version 3 machine with network card that can

is only running on 10 mbits and we need this machine in particular to run
at 1000 mbits. I am currently not able to get on the Redhat gui interface
but can at command line due to an additional issue. Could anyone tell me
how I check the speed the network card is actually running at and let me
know a way of getting it running on 1000 mbits.

You want to look at ethtool or mii-tool.

ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 should force the card to gigabit... watch
for errors and check /var/log/messages and dmesg output for any issues.

You might tweak with the duplex settings as well (see man ethtool)

Are you at the latest kernel/updates for your system? Perhaps newer
drivers would address your problem.
