Reset network adapter?

I want to reset the network adapter to release it from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps. I can't find a button to do this.

I could go to a command prompt and us ipconfig but am looking for the setting in Windows 7.

is your adapter gigabit capatable?

might just be a driver issue in windows 7, i have had tons of issues with network card drivers in windows 7

It is. It shows up as 10/100/1000 Mpbs in Device Manager. I rebooted the 1 Gpbs Switch and the adapter is now at 1 Gpbs

Yes but there used to be a renew adaptor button in vista that did the trick without having to go across the room to the Switch.
