I've had this problem. The issue is probably cable termination, and if it's not that, the next most-likely answer is a problem with the shielding and/or twisting along the run. 100 Mbps is the same as 1 Gbps with a higher error rate. Swap out the cable if you can. If still experiencing the problem, try different devices on each end if you have them available.
