but is teh PC conencting at 100mb FULL duplex? if not the cable could still be the problem.
one last thign it can be tha thas happened to me before is that BOTH devices support auto polarity sense. this messes with each other and they both keep flipping TX and RX pairs. if one has the optioin to turn this off, do it. -- Lack of Preparation on YOUR Part does NOT Constitute an Emergency on Mine!
my apologies, y'all were right. it's the cable. i went ahead and tested with a short store-bought cable and i got perfect throughput. damn. all that for some badly terminated cable!

don't feel bad, i hav efought that battle myself. i now have a good ethernet tester that checks for split/reversed pairs as well as just continuity and use it anytime i have an issue. -- Lack of Preparation on YOUR Part does NOT Constitute an Emergency on Mine!
