Thanks so much! That was it exactly. I unplugged the host from the cisco switch that we literally just pulled out of the box and racked in it's default configuration, and plugged the host into a netgear with limited management options, and it was resolved, so it must have been related to the switch's port configuration.
Thanks again for the speedy response. That's what makes these forums awesome! Image may be NSFW.
