 I also tried forcing it to 10Mbit but it seems it doesn't really force.

 Meanwhile the problem is already solved and what I did was:

   - Run an application(for DOS) which came with Network Cards and save the EPROM
from each one to 10Mbit instead
of Autodetecting.
   - One network card was already set up to 10 Mbits but the another one was as
Autodetecting - that's the problem.
   - If I was able to get 100Mbits maybe it had worked.

   Conclusion: network cards had both the 10Mbit LED ligth but they weren't
forcing to those speed.

 Thanks for all your help.
