Although this might not be the problem you should double-check before
going to other solutions.

If it is a 3c509 combo (ie: Twisted Pair/BNC) make sure it is set to
the cable type you are using. It can be set via software. This will
cause the above symptoms.

If it's not a combo move on to next message. :-)
