As I said earlier, I've seen the ability to fix the port speed (and duplex) often solves problems attributable to unreliable auto speed negotiation. Also, as you've experienced, not every cabling run is capable of the higher speed. Maybe the guy has perfectly good, but older Cat3 cabling installed, which is only spec'd to 10 Mbps. If two 10/100 devices are at either end of that connection, it's not hard to imagine them negotiating the higher speed and then failing to be able to reliably sustain it.
