     I have the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller on my computer. Think I have this solved by disabling Auto Disable Gigabit.

Check the PC itself. That's usually where the issue will originate, assuming the Cat6 cable isn't damaged or constructed incorrectly. Does the PC have a gigabit ethernet port on it or a 100mbps port? What kind of ethernet adapter is in your PC? You should be able to find it under ethernet properties or device manager.
