You can pickup a 2.5GB Ethernet PCIE card for $20 -$25 and use that for your computer's ethernet connection. If that doesn't work for you you can buy a 2.5GB USB to Ethernet connector for your computer - that is what I'm currently using on my machine.
As mentioned, check your cables. Some cat 5 cables may work but I switched over to cat 6.
