Never ever force one device to a speed/duplex setting and leave the
other one auto. Standard-conforming devices will switch to half duplex
when set to autonegotiate and seeing that the other side doesn't
answer (which it won't, when set manually).

No wonder you have experienced problems with autonegotiation.
