I'd be weary of getting a new nic without having ruled everything else out at the moment. There is a simple thing you can try, which is to swap nics with another box, and see if you get anything different. If the box is okay with another nic, then you trash the current one. However, if switching nics changes nothing, then we're back to square one :-( Do the other boxes have other brands of nics in them?
