It may not even be the in-wall wiring. A bad jumper from the wall
to PC can do it too.  When my company first switched from 10Meg to
100M we had a lot of trouble that turned out to be caused by
badly made extension cables in the offices.  The
contractor-installed cat 5 in the walls was OK.  The switches
didn't isolate the errors though, so it was hard to find the
problems.  We ended up replacing all of the old hand-made
cables with new pre-made ones - which aren't all that expensive
now.
