I've been seeing sorta similar problems both at work and school. In every case, for me, it turned out to be the settings on the NIC. Normally autonegotiation works fine, but in some cases one end will be full duplex and the other end half duplex, which means there will be millions of collisions. Have a look at ifconfig to see how many collisions or errors it's had. If it looks like that's the problem use ethtool or mii-tool to set the duplex mode and speed manually. If that won't do it there may be a module option for it, or some system-specific way.
