On the next drop down boxes, change Speed to 100baseTX and the Duplex to full-duplex. Apply the settings and now run the speed tests.

I'm using OS X 10.4.5 and can't find the drop downs for Speed. I'm in manual Ethernet config.

Try Mac Pilot (shareware) for one of the best network tweaking apps ever.

Permanent settings for broadband ... cool. Other apps say they do this, but only until restart, and MP verifies the settings. Excellent app.
