There's also an off chance the client BIOS has a setting if it's an embedded NIC.
Another odd thought would be you've got an old network cable (CAT 3) and the media doesn't support 100. I've had that happen in the past.

Depending on the switch, it may be a "spanning-tree" or Cable Looping prevention scheme kicking in.
I ran into this on my lab bench since I was using a new, unconfigured switch.

I am thinking it might be a networking issue - I have just purchased a managed switch, so can anyone explain how to force 100Mb/Full duplex for a thinkNIC client - eepro100 I think?

I have a dozen ThinkNICs using LTSP4. They do not always want to boot up. They will all boot up, but sometimes I have to reboot them a dozen times before they do. A typical boot where they fail starts like a successful boot but the whole PXE/tftp process moves at a snail's pace.
During a successful boot the following lines would normally be too fast to read, but during a failed session they are printed to the screen at a rate of one line per 15 seconds or so, finally hanging when it gets to a matching entry for the file in the pxelinux.cfg directory:
