Hi,
I'll assume you are using Windows 2000. If its a lower version the same kind of steps will apply, but the options might be a little different:
1. Right click on the Network Neighbourhood icon on the desktop and select Properties.
2. Right click on the "Local Area Connection" icon [or whatever your particular lan card is called] and select properties again.
3. Select your network card from the list and click the Configure button.
4. Under the Advanced Tab, select "Speed & Duplex" in the left pane and then modify the Value as required.
5. Keep clicking OK on your way out to save changes.
This is basically what Jay_Jay70 has explained in his comment, but its more step by step.
Also I share RobWill's curiosity, the real reason for downgrading the speed of the LAN card can help us give you a better solution to your paticular problem..
Write back soon and tell us how it went.

Just my 2 cents worth, and may not be relevant.
