Yes need 100Mbit full or half duplex.

, & if its set at half duplex will this interfere with things such as p2p running at top end speed, as from my understanding of duplex settings, its in realation to being able to send / rec packets either together or only one at a time....
Not an issue the extra latency introduced from half duplex operations is in the microseconds

You're welcome.

Try running it on 100base full duplex, if it can't do this points to a potential issue with the kit. Try it on 10base full duplex see if that works too. 100 base uses more pins on the cable than 10 so may want to see how it goes changing the cable if that doesn't work.

Otherwise an auto-negotiation issue, nothing too major just set 100base full on the card and enjoy
