We used to have systems that had many different NIC drivers loaded so that the same image could be used on several different hardware platforms and I'd get these messages sporadically. Turns out the fix was changing auto-negotiate to 100Full on the NIC and the switch. We've recreated our images for each hardware platform - guess we should have followed best practice to begin with - and it's been much better.

I have rebuilt the machine twice and have put on XP SP2 and XP SP1a and the results are always the same, I have replaced the NIC and the Cable it uses to connect to the network and can't seem to figure out what is going on. Any help is appreciated.
