Sounds like a bad cable have you tried using another Cat5 patch cord?

The patch cable is the wire between the computer and the modem/router.
Not sure what you mean "Can I apply the speed of my network adaptor to 10 Mbs to gain more speed from my DSL connection".

Try setting the network throughput setting to 10Mbps Full Duplex. Half Duplex is actually slower - in a nutshell half duplex is like having a one-way street taking turns to switch directions to send/receive information, while full duplex is like a two-way street.
