Default Freebsd and 1000Mb/s

I two servers; each having gig(1000Mb/s) card and are connected to a gig switch. The freebsd server is running freenas and is primarily for backup up the windows server. My major concern is that the freebsd box is not pushing gig speeds. When I run ifconfig it knows its connected at 1000baseTX but when I do transfers it does doesn't go over 100baseTX. I've put in my laptop on the same port (which has a gig network card too) and did some network tests and it pushed more than 100baseTX so its not the problem with the network, its the freebsd box. Is there a setting which I can force the nic to transfer at 1000baseTX. The files I'm backing up need to be completed in a short timeframe. Any experts who can shed some light on this? Thanks
