External interface connecting at 10MBPS

lawnjarts
My external interface is only connecting at 10 MBPS and I'm wondering if this is where my bottleneck is coming from.  On the firewall itself, the orange 10 Mbps light is on, and that's it.  

My cisco router from Qwest is configured for 100 mbps/Full duplex.  Is there a way I can change/fix this issue?

Thanks

    It sure seems like it's got a 100+ connection, regardless of the LEDs.  Can you try a plain ethtool eth0 command without the -S parameter?  You should see something like this:
    astaro:/home/login # ethtool eth0
