NIC settings

Hi

When I am in zorin os9 I have slower down load speeds then when I am in windows 7 and I noticed that my NIC settings in zorin os9 are set at Speed: 10Mb/s, Duplex: Half, and Link detected: no

I have tried to change the Speed and Duplex using the command ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full but it does not work. Im not sure why it says Link detected: no or if that has any effect on my speed.

How can I change the Speed settings to 100Mb/s and Duplex: full.

Should I be concerned about Link not being detected ?
