some DOS commands to find out Ethernet speed?

Is there some DOS commands to find out Ethernet link speed?

I want to find out if the Windows server 2003's GB NIC link to a switch GB port is running at 1GB/s. Is there some DOS commands to show the link speed on the Windows server box?

Thanks for your time and reading this.

You can install the Resource Kit and use Linkspeed.

LINKSPEED { /S system | /DC } [/T value]

Description:
    This command line tool displays the link speed to the remote system.

Parameter List:
    /S     system     Specifies the machine name to which the link
                      speed is to be determined.

    /DC               Specifies to determine the link speed to the
                      domain controller.

    /T     value      Specifies the minimum threshold value looking
                      for. Must be specified in bytes.

Example:
    LINKSPEED /S \\system
    LINKSPEED /S system.domain.com /T 700000
    LINKSPEED /S domain.com /T 700000
    LINKSPEED /DC
    LINKSPEED /DC /T 5005005

The QOS portion of the output will show your adapter speed (actual, not theoretical: My 100MB link shows as 95.)
