Verify duplex settings. That could be a possible cause. |

You report that your server has autonegotiated, and that's good, but |
| 16 |
only if the other end of the cable autonegotiates as well. Failure to do |
| 17 |
so will result in duplex mismatch. Some folks will try to force |
| 18 |
(100Mbps/1000Mbps) speed and full duplex on one end and autonegotiate |
| 19 |
the other end - you usually end up negotiating half-duplex. Either force |
| 20 |
both, or negotiate both: preferably autonegotiate both. |

I use 'ethtool' for checking that. If you have a managed switch, you can |
| 23 |
check speed duplex of the interface there too. If not, assume it |
| 24 |
autonegotiates as well. |
