Speed is simple: it simply won't work at all if that ends up wrong.
I'm not getting any errors on the workstation.
Hm. On a duplex mismatch I'd expect CRC errors, runts and (if in half
duplex) late collisions. And if...

..your switch isn't managed, it should do autonegotiation only. I'd try
autoneg on the workstation as well, and if that performs badly, try
100/half.
Does your switch at least show the speed/duplex mode the port ends up
in, even if you can't manage it?

If your sniffer can capture packets with CRC errors in the Ethernet
frame, I'd look at that, especially if the box claims to be in full duplex.
