Ok, I've just tried 2 other cables, one doesn't even get a link light so it's probably dead. The other one I had suspected was bad and indeed the connection is terrible and the Oerr field in netstat does increase. On the other hand, the Oerr field doesn't increase with the original cable, however the video performance is still bad (although not as bad as with the 2nd replacement cable). I will make up some new cables, and also place an order for an Intell Pro100, as they are supposed to be really reliable. Thanks Matt
