I have a 85Mbp/s network over the mains thing, but even eliminating that 
and cabling directly to the nearest switch still causes problems.

I'll have to try this next, but I'm going to need a long cable.

At the moment my network topography looks like this:

BE -100Mb/s- Switch -100Mb/s- ADSL Router with Switch -100Mbs- FE
               /   \
           Server   Wireless Hub

Once I've done the test with the crossover cable I'll post back here.
