Make sure your network card matches the settings of your hub/switch.

If you have a hub then you'll want to toggle it to half-duplex, if
you have a switch, most likely full duplex.  Since you didn't mention
which ethernet card you're using (THE MOST IMPORTANT PART) then I
really can't offer much guidance on tweaking your particular card
besideds consulting its manpage as well as 'man ifconfig'.

best of luck,
