File copy speed issues - help

I've just commissioned a new, remote site and am having some very wierd
issues. Can anybody explain ?

All servers are Win Server 2003 R2 - All clients are XP

If users on the remote copy data (either command line or through explorer)
from the remote site to central site - throughput is about 1 MB per minute

If I copy the same data, in the same direction, but initiate the connection
from the central site, throughput is about 7 MB per minute.

Also, if users on the remote site copy data using FTP from the remote site
to the central site - throughput is about 10 MB per minute.


Any ideas ???

I would check the config of the remote site computer's NIC and ensure it was
set to "Auto-negotiate" rather than being hardcoded to 100full duplex. Or,
if already at "Auto-negotiate", I'd change it to hardcoded. And test again.
