Either note the NIC stats on the other machines or reboot them to zero the stats.
Generate some traffic between the machines and check the stats.
If they are clean, or nearly so, you've found the problem NIC/cable.

You can swap NICS one at a time to see if the problem moves.
If it does, the NIC is bad.
If it doesn't the problem is in the cable leading to the problem location..
I'm curious... can a cable be "bad" and still pass a cable tester test? I checked all cables and they all pass now (not a signal strength test since I don't have that tool).

I changed the nic on my Asus since I suspected that was the problem machine. My transfer rate of transferring a 8gb file went from 300+ minutes to 10-11 minutes. I no longer see collisions being reported on my switch and it now shows up correctly as full duplex on the switch. However, I still see some address errors received on that machine. Any ideas?
