Hi,

You should always set your NIC speed to the same setting as the switch port
you are connected to. If your switch is configured to Auto/Auto, you should
configure your NIC for that as well, and if your Switch port is hard coded
with for example 10/Half the PC should also use this setting The problem you
are describing definitely points to a speed/Duplex mismatch that causes
collisions and therefore you experience this slow performance.

Obvioulsy you would get better performance if you would configure both your
PC and Switch port for 100 Mbit/Full duplex if your cabling infrastructure
supports this, but getting the configuration to match would probably be a
good place to start your troubleshooting.
