Re: Slow network connection

I've just tried a x-over cable between the two boxes to see if it was the
hub and it's still slow.

That's narrowed it down a bit then :-)
Are the network cards different brands? Occasionally they will just
refuse to cooperate. Have you got another card you could try? Otherwise
get the newest drivers you can find and try them, uninstall/reinstall all
the Windows networking components, if that fails go for a beer :-)
Just thought - it's not an interrupt-sharing problem is it? Might help
to move the cards to different slots, or try setting the interupts in
your BIOS.
