I think the problem is in your 1ghz machine. It is too slow. The processor
and a chipset is a bottleneck or even a hard drive. I have like 35
megabytes/s on two athlon 64 3000+ machines and onboard nforce4 nic in
chipset. I think that speed is a good for low end hard drives.
But something poked my eye in your post. U r saying that in the middle of
copying network becomes unavailable? That sounds like faulty cabling problem.
How long are thouse cables? Are they near some power line or some other EM
device. Maybe u got EM interference problem?

Thanks for the posts so far.

I thought when talking about network speed, that we should all be
speaking about Megabits per second, rather than bytes, or have I been
out of the game too long...

I think you may be right about the 1ghz machine, if I 'pull' the file
from the 3ghz to the 1ghz PC, it bounces between 0.5% and 5% until is
says "Network no longer available", but if I "Push" the file, I get an
almost rock solid 14% of the 1Gbps; the 3ghz processor runs at 50-60%
of maximum, while the 1Ghz seems to be doing a little less work between
30-40% with no network errors.

Just for completeness, I get a "jumpy" 10% if I push from the 1ghz to
the 3ghz.
