Speed = 100 Full-Duplex.
Autonegotiation = On.

What could be causing such behavior? The nic has Autonegotiation mode set on, why isn't it negotiating at gig speed? The networking dude told me his switch is forzed at GB speed.

any advice on this matter will be appreciated

[Pete Randall]

The network dude should be setting his port to auto-negotiate.

Shalom,

HP GB interfaces will not work on a network switch port not set to auto-negotiate.

Any other setting will cause the interface to work at 100 BaseT speeds, if at all.

Hi,

If switch side also set autonegaotiation, then both device will negotiate with each other and set the speed according to the environment.

Here environment includes, Lan interface, switch, cable, hub or bridge if any between point to point.
