Daryn,
Are you using 3Com NICs on any devices? I've noticed that 3Coms DO
NOT autonegotiate correctly with Cisco set-based switches. One side will
always come up half duplex, the other side full. Intel and Compaq NICs
don't seem to have this problem. You're better off hardcoding everything to
100 full, switch ports and NICs, assuming everything is capable of it. Do a
'sh port count' and 'sh port' on the switches, make sure there's no errors
on any port. Check the servers first. Very slow response is a symtom of
mismatched duplexity (is that a word?).
