Is my house cabling ducked?

i doubt it...
Just to clarify those cable test results dont necessarily imply a 'break' in the conventional sense of the word. Its probably just poor workmanship at the faceplates.
Might be worth removing the faceplates yourself and checking all pairs are kroned in. I have come across a vast number of installations where cables weren't punched down sufficiently to break the cable sheath.

Right...
I've tried the laptop physically wired to the switch with the cable I have running from the PC to the RJ45 socket (upstairs) and also the cable I use from the RJ45 socket downstrairs both times the laptop connects at 1000MPS.
I've also tried disabling the network connection and trying the second network connection on my mobo (it comes with two).
Hope that provides the answers your looking for if not I'm around all day so will be able to post fairly quickly
Thanks for your help chaps - much appreciated
Well that rules out any cabling faults.
What mobo have you got?
Yeah good advice above. Take the face plates off at each end and inspect. Recut and crimp the cable at both ends and retest, I bet it will then start working.
EDIT: And to all those that say you don't need Gigabit ethernet. Erm...I can think of atleast 3 reasons that I want a gigabit lan as opposed to a 100mbit.
