Mun,
	You might want to install ttcp and test your network with this utility 
(see http://www.pcausa.com/Utilities/pcattcp.htm ).  You basically set 
one computer to be a ttcp reciever and then use ttcp to transmit some 
data from the other machine.  My understanding is it sends data from 
memory buffers, thus this would take your hard drive out of the loop. 
You may need to open or disable your firewall for the test ports.

Thanks,

Dale
