Thanks for the response. I did manually change the media type last night from half to full. It was set to auto, and the switch port to which it was connected was set to full, but for some reason it went to half. After I changed the duplex, I didn't see any improvement. This morning I came in, and although I know I've done this before, I tried switching the port and the cable, and it immediately improved. This will have to be chalked to either the cable or the port, although I've never seen it happen that a cable would not drop packets or log errors and still cause be limitations? The port is new, and there is no QoS or anything else I can detect that might have caused something like this. I'm glad it's fixed though. It was driving me nuts.
