In my case here it was a Sun SparcStation 10 into a linksys 5-port mini switch. I have two of them, one worked fine, the other had a "no carrier." I put a 10 Mbit hub between the sun and the switch and everything worked just fine.
So it may be that the nic doesn't like the auto sensing and they're just not going to play nice, so i would suggest if you had a hub round, try putting it between them. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
