Right, an engineer repaired it by rewiring around the broken connections in the cable - IE the cable hasn't been replaced, he fixed number 4,6 etc.

Does this mean I've lost full duplexing as I seem to get packet loss unless I set it to force half-duplex
edit Make that 10mb half duplex - I'm not particulary bothered about the loss of speed, I just want confirmation on my theory.
