Upgrade Ultra 1 Network Connection Speed?

Hello,

I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna get a negative answer to this one but I
may at least get some ideas for a work-around...

We were using an Ultra 1 Creator as a server i.e. it had a big disk tied
to it which shared out application and project data. The system board on
this machine failed and so I had to use another Ultra 1 as the server.
Unfortunately the original Creator has a 100 Mbps FastEthernet interface
while the new entry level machine (I think it's a Model 140 or 170) has
only a 10 Mbps Ethernet interface. Any tricks I can pull or upgrades I
can do to get 100 Mbps which will obviously be needed for such a
server. I was hoping it was a network card but it seems to be on-board
so that appears to rule out the most obvious option i.e. swop the card.
Any ideas would be very welcome...

Thanks,
John Kelly.
