We've had problems on our network involving 100Mbps cards and switches not using exactly the same timing for hardware features such as Ethernet flow control. I've also had problems (especially with HP switches talking to Intel chipsets) where the hardware does not correctly negotiate speed and duplex (eg: a 1G switch port and 1G ethernet chipset negotiate a connection at 10Mbps half duplex).
We solved our problems by using a different switch - in our case, a little SOHO 10/100 switch with 8 ports. You might want to try a different brand of switch, or install a different brand of Ethernet card in your Samba server.
