Probably been tried but... At least on our GbE switches early PE cards need
to have the respective port on the switch forced to full duplex to bring
link up.
good luck,

A few things to check on the Catalyst:
1) Is the speed AND duplex set the same as your network card?
2) Is the port enabled?
3) Is the port in the correct VLAN?
4) Is the port set to trunk? (if yes, then disable trunking)
5) Is the port set to be the span port? (if yes, then disable span)
6) Have you tried another port and patch leads?
7) What is the model number of the card in the Catalyst? And what version
IOS are you running?
