Odd network cable issue

So for the past 5 years or so I've had my Xbox in the back room with a network cable plugged in. Its ran fine. It'll stream anything from my Mac Mini with its wifi connection upstairs. With our new HDTV I've decided the 360's new home is the back room. So I took the cable out the Xbox and plugged it in the 360. It struggled to play mp3's over the network. It struggled to display 4mb images as a slideshow. I must admit I find it a little odd that the older box performs better. The Xbox can stream a 1.3gb movie without issue. The 360 is struggling to even connect to Xbox Live! In fact I'm trying it now and it can't. I bet if I plugged the same cable into the old Xbox I could happily watch a dvd movie, I mean a 4gb dvd iso image without issue. Its crazy!
