slow LAN access (~15MBps)
I seem to be getting about 8-20MBps... I got a PC (win7), NAS (win2k8 datacenter), laptop (XP pro)...
Things ive tried:
PC from NAS (direct and with hp managed switch)
PC to laptop (with switch)
laptop from NAS (direct and with switch)
Ive installed HD tune to make sure the HDDs werent the issue (they both can very easily do more then triple the LAN speeds im getting).
Tried few different wires.
Confirmed a '1 Gbps' connection in 'Network Connections'.
Tried three different NICs in my NAS (one from mobo, two others are Realtek based PCI cards).
Ive felt like ive removed all the variables other then this being win7/win2k8 based. Ive done XP to XP in the past at +100MBps without issue, so im not sure whats going on (is this yet another thing win7 sucks at?)...
Suggestions?

If you think this is an OS issue, download Ubuntu Live CD and boot two PCs with it. If speeds are the same it isn't your OS.
Also, you may be better off posting this in the Networking subforum.

Maybe there is poor signal in the cabling somewhere. Try to set your link speed to 100 full duplex instead of 1000 speed. It could possibly go faster that way if the signal is too poor to do legit 1000 speed.

Assuming you mean how to set up the network, there is an icon in the upper right next to the volume icon. Click it and it should be self-explanatory.

If you are not using it, make sure that the Homegroups feature is disabled on Win7. Getting rid of it literally makes Ethernet connections on my machines up to 10 times faster on Win7.

I disabled Homegroups, no luck.
I also installed XP on my NAS.
I seem to sometimes hit 50MBps or more... But most of the time it goes back to 9-14MBps... I even setup ramdisk on winxp and seem to get the same low speeds. So its probably not the hardware, just MS software mucking it up somewhere.
I do not know much about networking, but im currently installing winxp in vmware workstation, I setup bridge on my second NIC, ill assign it an IP and see if I can connect to my NAS, if I can, I *imagine* this connection wont be hindered by win7 if its part of the issue.
Im also considering buying a few intel nics with cat6 cables, but I doubt thats 100% the issue.
edit: no luck with vmware. I am getting about 37MBps avg, even tho the HDD gives me 88MBps avg in hd tune in vmware with a min of 56MBps avg. While my NAS gave me same speeds if the source was the HDD or ramdisk....
