Did you repower/reset all/any swithes in the network which may have
auto-negotiated down to 10MB after the first NIC change and stayed
that way.

It only takes one machine or NIC to screw up an entire network so
you may have fixed it after the first re-install of NIC but the
network was hosed at that time.
