For what it is worth, I had a smoothieboard I was trying to connect directly to my computer, and no power on earth seemed to be able to make it work reliably with DHCP. I statically configured the IP, and it connects every time with a direct connection. Never did figure out that issue, just leaving

Make sure to set the PI end to match. The 100Mbit/full auto-neg failure default is 10mbit/half and works badly with the other end running 100/full. As someone also said you might want to try a 100Mbit crossover cable. The gig port would need to figure out correctly that it needs to have 2 pairs
