I don't think that FULL/AUTO would have a difference on gigabit
networks that it did with 10/100MBit. When I have seen packet losses
on gigabit it has been STP related where the system and the switch
keep negotiating spanning tree and stuff just goes poof. The other one
is where a second system says it has the same ip address because some
service is being 'helpful' in failover mode.. but that is less likely
here.
