Seconded. To rule out the switch, I'd get yourself a program like iperf, isolate both computers and the 10/100 enet switch
from the internet, and see how well the switch performs under load.

Either that or borrow a switch from a friend if someone has a spare floating around.

[XP] Slow connection through switch

kajko27 posted : I have a 7MB DSL connection through an Actiontech GT784WNV modem/router. A direct connection to this router yields acceptable 6MB+ download results. I have 2 computers connected through a Suttle SOHO 10/100 enet switch also. When only one switch connected computer is on then the connection seems solid, but when I have both switch connected computers turned on then the connection on these machines only drops to between 550kb to 1.5mb download. Can a switch affect preformance this drastically or is this an indication of other problems (wiring??).
