Bringing this back to life. I have had several 5330\5340 do the exact same thing over the past 3 years and was wondering if anyone had found a fix for this. I have found in a few cases that setting a static IP on the phone works but on others the only option is to use 2 cables or 1 power brick plugged into the POE port and a data cable plugged into the PC port on phone. I have talked to several techs and they say it is a hardware issue with the earlier lot of phones and that all newer phones do not have this issue.
 
You could try and set them to 10MB as on old phones this behaviour was down to damaged 100MB circuits.
