Agreed -- If plain cat5, could be the problem. When I installed some
gigabit switches at work (original CAT5 cable runs were done in early
90s) some computers / ports went to full gigabit speeds, some stayed
at 100. Had to rerun some cables.
My understanding is that auto-negotiation for port speeds is fairly
reliable now... but you could always try forcing the computers to
gigabit if the cables should be good.

I think cat5 will run at 1G if the run is fairly short.
(All other nics, etc, need to be 1G though...)
