Transfer rate limited to 130KB/s for LAN

I have a DSL account with 4 static IP addresses. On the network, there is a switch that connects to 3 computers and a WRT54G router.

Whenever I am transfering files between anything behind the WRT54G and the computers connected to the switch, I can only transfer at 130KB/s.

If the computers on the switch are transfering files to each other, I can get around 2500~3000KB/s.

I did a tracert and computers on the switch have only 1 hop directly to the computer on the network.

When I tracert from behind the router, there are 3 hops. The packet goes to the router>ISP gateway>computer.

I'm guessing there has to be a way to setup so that the WRT54G can send packets directly to a computer on the switch without having to go to WAN. I just don't have the networking knowledge to do this. Can someone help? Thanks.
 
I hope that there is good reason for such an arrangement. In most cases, it is a psychological problem of not letting go of something (I.e. 3 IPs) that is necessary useful.

In any case, you can not call it LAN transfer since you have few Networks and the slow traffic is between the Networks, my guess would be that the WAN port of the Linksys is working at 10Mb/sec.

You have 2 options - either set up static routes for each of your IP addresses or get rid of them and give all your machines local IPs. You might need to flash thefirmware to OpenWRT or get a better router for the first option.
