I have a Cat6 1GB wired network at home, and had a self-built Windows Homeserver on it (1st version, so Windows Server 2003-based, same codebase as XP). Setting the NIC to full autonegotiation would result in the server "disappearing" from the network completely after some time. I had to disable checksum offload and set it to autoneg for 100FD to make it stay visible, but that resulted in an inability to stream more than 1 Blu-Ray rip simultaneously, so it wasn't acceptable. I've since upgraded to Windows Server 2008 R2 (same codebase as Windows 7) and the server is now quite happily woking at full autonegotiation, allowing my three kids to watch whatever movies they want, while I'm happily listening to my music :D
