If the duplex etc is all the same then i would try the following:<br />
<br />
1) Try a different port on the switch.<br />
2) Swap out the CAT5 cable for another one and try it with that.<br />
3) Install latest NIC drivers.<br />
<br />
I have had this exact issue before, but it was down to a duplex issue...

Try setting up the switch port and NIC to auto-negotiate duplex and speed. &nbsp;I generally try to avoid manually configuring these unless it won't work without it, because of issues like this.

I have a server that when I copy a file to it, it is very fast. But if I copy from it, it slows down to about 1Mb/s. This happens when copying from and to machines even on the same switch. <br />
<br />
The NIC is set to 100Mb/s and full duplex. The switchport is set the same way and is set for portfast. <br />
<br />
I havent tried to use the 2nd NIC in the server but I'm curious if I'm missing something here. It is a new server. <br />
<br />
The switch is a cisco 2950. There are no errors on the switchport either.

Server has slow NIC outgoing speed, but fast incoming

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
