win2k seems to be causing ethernet CRC errors

In a review of the interface counters on the switches where our servers are
connected, I noticed one of our win2k sp4 servers running SUS was
generating CRC errors.

I tried changing:

1. the patch cable
2. the switch port
3. the ethernet port on the server

This still did not fix the CRC errors. So I figured it must be something
wrong in the server ethernet controller, etc.

I pulled the drives from that server and put into another server, used
different patch cable & plugged into different port on the switch.

guess what? I'm still getting CRC errors from that server. I can only
conclude it must be software. What in win2k could cause this? anyone?
