Subject: sort of OT: gigabit ethernet puzzle

I'm setting up a new edit / GFX station in my home office.  I have a total of four Macs.  Three are Intel; one G4 PPC.  

One of my Mac Pros won't allow me to manually or automatically use 1000baseT, Full-duplex, Jumbo Frames, like the other MacPro, MacBook Pro and Quicksilver G4.

I can't figure out why.  

If I go into Network Preferences, Advanced>Hardware tab, and set it to Manual with the above settings, it disconnects the Ethernet port.  

When I switch the IPv4 setting to Automatic, it sets itself to 100baseT, not 1000.  

I'm stumped.  Can anybody point me in a direction to fix this?  I know my cable is OK, because the same cable that the MacPro at 100 is on will give me 1000 speed with my MacBookPro connected to it.

I hope I've explained this clearly.

????

TIA,
Jim Curtis
