Also check your duplex settings at your switch and server. Autonegotiate is
a cursed featureset IMO. Each vendor does it a little differently and it's
not 100%. Even if you're talking 100Mbps if your duplex settings are miss
match it gets really dirty. I recommend forcing your duplex.

Even worse is when the negotiation fails with one end choosing 100Mbps
and the other end choosing 10Mbps.

The more I know about the WIN32 API the more I dislike it. It is complex and
for the most part poorly designed, inconsistent, and poorly documented.
