When I restarted the network, the problems disappeared completely (at 
least for now), which pretty much eliminates cabling as a possible 
cause. Thus, my "crappy no-name NIC card" seems the most likely 
explanation.  However, this NIC is soldered into the motherboard, so I 
don't expect to be swapping it out any time soon (although I certainly 
might disable it and install a better one!).
