Computer 1: DFI NF4 motherboard with onboard network set to 100M duplex
Computer 2: DFI Intel motherboard with onboard Intel Pro/1000 set to 100m Duplex

When the network is connected with a Dlink DI-604 router i can xfer my WoW install in about 20min. When i use the Airlink AGIGA8sw switch, the copy takes atleast 200 minutes.

Does anyone have any clue why it is so slow, or is it defective?

The reason I am doing this, is I want to replace the Dlink router with a linux router made from an old comp. I have that part setup and working fine with smoothwall, but disconnected to debug this.

That didnt improve speeds. At autodetect the Nvidia doesnt report connect speed in event viewer, the intel one connected at 1000M, no duplex setting reported.
