I've forced both full and half duplexing and gotten the same results both 
ways.  I certainly won't rule out bad hardware.  I just don't know how to 
troubleshoot this.
Would disabling "witness" help?  I've read that "witness" can slow down 
some things, but I don't know if network speed is one of them.
