D-Link DFE-530TX indicates that it is only running at 10 mbps. I an using a Cat 5 cable and cant get it to run at 100 mbps. Dell 8200, PCI slot, Windows XP.
There's possibility that the network (router/modem/switch) you're trying to connect has limit to up to 10 Mbps only. Or it can be that the current LinkSpeed of the Ethernet adapter might be forced to 10 Mbps. Do the following to check this setting:
Go to Control Panel> Network Connections.
On Network Connections, look for Local Area Connection (for the D-Link adapter). Right click it then go to Properties.
On Properties window, click Configure button.
On the next window, go to Advanced tab.
Look for Media Type, Connection Type, or LinkSpeed and Duplex Mode.
If the value is set to Auto Negotiation/ Auto/ AutoSense, try to force it to 100 Mbps.

Sounds like an IP address problem. Your IP address on both the NIC card (DFE 530) and the router have to be in the same address range. You can do this 2 ways. 1... Have your router hand out addresses automatically. Make sure DHCP is enabled and that you have at least one address available for it to give out. ie. 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.3. The first three number must be the same as the router. The other option is to manually set your IP address on your nic card to match the router. If the router is lets say 192.168.0.1 then you can assign 192.23.34.2 to your computer NIC. If you haven't been able to access your router then check your router manual to find out the default IP address and use the same number for your NIC changing only the last number. The largest number you can use is 255. Hope this helps.
This device automatically detects the speed of the device(s) attached to it and adjusts accordingly. There are no adjustments, management consoles or other methods to modify it's behavior. If you can only connect at 10 Mbps then of the following is probably causing it:
-The computer or other device connected to the switch port is only capable of 10Mpbs.
-The computer or other device connected to the switch port is configured to run at 10 Mbps.
-The cable connecting them is damaged or not certified as cat 5 or better.
-Some other networking issue is affecting communications on the network.
