If the old switch was a 10mb switch then that could explain it. I had a client who bought a new switch recently and had the same problem. At the end we found that the problem was with the 10/100 ethernet card on the computer and not the switch. It turns out it had trouble understanding what a 100mb full duplex means since something got messed up(old hardware and all) and it could not be set to 10mb. a quick 30nis replacement did the trick. So,.. its not a big problem, is it?
