I have a realtek rtl8169 gigabit ethernet NIC, installed on a Windows 2003 Server Box. the card is plugged into a 1Gb switch but will only run at 100MB, Any suggestions?
If all else fails, shutdown the Windows 2003 server and pull the power plug from both the server and switch. You might want to pull the 24-pin power connector from the motherboard as well. You want these devices to completely discharge. Let them sit for a few minutes. Now reconnect everything, power them up, and try again.

Did you check the configuration on the NIC? Is it set to auto but coming up at 100mg? try forcing to 1000mg full duplex (I know you can't have 1gig without full duplex) and see it the NIC comes up.
