As the post says I have a machine networked via Cat5e to a RBS50 satellite which is itself networked to a RBR40 via Cat6 cable. I get Sonic gigabit service but only receive 100 Mbps through the ...

well the 30 foot Cat5e cable consistently delivers 1000Mbps when plugged directly into my workstation.
So i feel like the cable is not the issue. -----Some devices are more tolerant of sketchy cables. So while it might work on the workstation, its possible that the cable ends/cable itself is still sketchy/bad. I've seen this happen several different times. the 6ft test with a decent quality cat 6 cable is ideal.
I've seen cheap cat 5e cables that would work in gigabit when connected to computers but would fail and only connect at 10/100mbps when connected to routers/switches. I'd upgrade to a decent quality cat 6 cable for that run
okay seems like this is the only viably solution at this point. thank you both for helping me out. ill post an update when i replace the cable. I really hope thats the issue.
