I had this problem. it has to do with the NIC settings, check to make sure both are running at 10mb half-duplex. On mine my laptop nic was set to 100mb full duplex and server was set to 100mb half both going through a 100mb hub. I believe that hub's are always half duplex. (switches can go to full).
