In a modern ethernet network the most likely cause is
a duplex missmatch.
Set everything to auto speed/auto duplex and try again.
Check all interfaces for hardware layer errors CRC, align/frame,
short.
If you have unmanaged network equipment check the end stations.
"netstat -e" works sometimes - If that doesn't identify the issue
get managed network equipment or randomly change things
until it goes away.
Second most likely is bad cable or NIC.
