move the desktop. I was having a similar problem and My desktop was interfering with itself getting a signal and I literally just turned it around to resolve the issue.

They're both plugged in via LAN not wireless if that matters
Could be the adapter on the desktop is limiting the speed. Most of them come with 10, 100, 1000.

Hmm, possibly. Is there a way to check? And as far as drivers go I was only getting around 70 until I just googled and downloaded the first driver I could; and now I'm getting the 90
In your bottom right corner where it shows your network connection right-click on it.
Open Network and Sharing Center.
Click Local Area Connection.
Speed: should show whatever the adapter is capable of.

Hmmm. Try switching the cables between the two?
Sounds like the cable is the issue, or faulty hardware.
edit:
Something to be aware of as well.

^^^ yep.
While an adapter and a router can both advertise as 1Gbps, network cable distance and quality can drop that back to 100Mbps in reality. My home LAN is like that. I get gigabit on my desktop where our router sits on my desk. My wife's PC is connected with a 25' piece of cat 5 and it only gets 100Mbps even though both router ports and both Ethernet adapters support the higher rate.

Laptop with the desktop cable is still getting significantly better speeds
How expensive are ethernet cards? Could I perhaps just try swapping it out?

If swapping the cable didn't remedy it, I'd almost say that it's a NIC issue. Since it's your desktop with the issue, you could always grab a PCIE 1x nic and try it out.
I have one of these, driver is easy enough to grab since it's right from Intel (was on purpose).

Any cat5e/6 cable will do, just make sure it's copper and not copper plated aluminum. I wouldn't spend more than a few $ on one though. Probably going to be $10-15 if you're picking it up at a store though.
edit: originally read that as cords, my bad.
Hmm false advertisement? or maybe it is the driver?
So my friend told me to go into the driver settings and change my speed/duplex to 1gbps full duplex
It's not even an option
It is on my laptop though.

Regular cat5 won't do gigabit, could also lose gigabit if it's not crimped properly, or there's a wire busted.
Cat5 can get gigabit for a short run, which is probably why I'm getting it and she is not. Cat5e and Cat6 support gigabit. I need to go ahead and just replace her cable.
What make is the motherboard? Where are you getting the driver from?
Apparently it's only running at 100mb speed, which makes sense.
Honestly at this point I'm most impressed and jealous of internet speeds that fast.

Honestly I haven't seen regular cat5 cable (non-e) in a very long time.
This is the motherboard

As far as the driver goes, I googled
killer e2200 driver and got it from their site

I had a Killer network card and they are supposed to boost speed by going around the standard Microsoft network stack. Obviously, not faster in your case. However, you should be able to get a firmware update for it if you check your manufacturer's website. Maybe this could solve the issue for you.
man.... seeing all those Mbp/s is like a far away dream for me lol. I live out in the country and only provider out here is windstream and they only have the 3MBp/s package ..... lol

I was supposed to be getting 50 for awhile, but I've been steady around 30mbps for most of the past decade, 3 is bad but still better than loldialup.
Seems like it was some stupid network manager. Didn't even know I had it (just installed everything when i got this computer). Uninstalled that and installed the driver only
Considering I'm paying for 110/10, and I got over 100, I'd say the problem is fixed

Ah, sounds gewd. Is the card still showing only 100 full as the max in device manager?
