Network speed
I have an unmanaged Cisco/Linksys SG 100-24 switch. It has gigabit capibility. My servers are connected to this switch at 1 GB and it's on auto detect however my PC's which are capible of gigabit are only connected a 100 mbs. I've tried to make them 1000 full duplix but I'm only seeing 100.

What type of cables are in use? And have you tested to be sure that they are good? Test all cables between the switch and servers.

They have an old patch panel & I'm thinking this is the problem
I would go with Masrock suggestion. I had a few bad cables and was only able to get 100/Full. Once I made new cables I was able to get the gigabyte speed.
Or the old patch panel may be the culprit. :)

IT's cat 5 cabling but the panel is from the year 1... Probably late 80's early 90's and I think this is my issue because my servers are directly connected to my Cisco 1000 switch and they are running at a gig. Currently I'm in NY Long Island Suffolk County does anyone know a cabling guy who's honest?
I am not sure if we can recommend here. I do know someone though.
I am in Suffolk County as well. :)

Cat5 or Cat5e? That will make a difference. But I unfortunately don't know companies to suggest since I am around Philadelphia.
