Probably because the switch it was connected to had decided to use 100Mb
half
duplex. If a switch doesn't manage to do auto negotiation, because the PC
has
been hard coded, it'll be able to work out whether the PC is 100M or 10M,
but
won't be able to work out between full duplex and half duplex. Many
switches
will default to half duplex in that case.
