It could be a problem with autoconfiguring the speed, and duplex of
the connection.  I've had two switches decide on different modes, and
thus get a broken network.  When one side is a dumb 10 megabit hub it
doesn't try to negotiate, so you never have to worry about that
problem.  If you can force it into different modes try that.
