Either use auto-negotiate everywhere, or use manual > everywhere. I would recommend using auto everywhere. That doesn't reflect my experiences with Realtek 8139 Chipsets. The chipset is pretty much broken (but cheap, so you see it VERY often) and it doesn't really do the auto-detection of network speeds (often, it will work with some 200byte/s) but if you lock it to 100mbit, it works flawlessly with all other chipsets I got (among others, Intel (both cards and onboard ICH2), Via Rhine and some very old Dec ones) on a cheap noname 100mbit switch.
