You may also be having a problem with the full duplex config. Cards
at both ends of the cable and any hub/switch in the middle must
agree that it is full duplex. Many older nics don't support
full duplex well even if they let you configure it. As a diagnostic
try the test from both ends and try all four combinations of duplex
settings.
