The 3COM is a

It is set to DHCP not sure about NAT, but it's listed in the router
and is not checked where it says diasble NAT.

If you connect a single computer to the Ethernet switch on the 3com, you'll
get a private/non-routable IP, right? If so, there you go.
Disable bridging, disable the 10/100 card, and see what happens.

I thought I would benifit somewhat from a bridge but guess I'm
looking at it in a totally different light.

Yep.

OK - but why?

Does the 3COM do NAT and DHCP? If so, get rid of the bridge, disable
your 10/100 NIC and connect the 3Com directly to the switch, and
connect your GB card to the switch.


hen I
bridge both connections in Network connections, I'm not using ICS,
is this the wrong way to do it

Maybe; I suspect so. What do you hope to accomplish with the bridge?

the other 2 computers with GB nic is connected to the 1GB switch

Just wanting to know if I am doing this correctly

I have 3 computers,

1 has a 10/100 lan and 10/100/1000 lan card
installed,

Why? Are you using ICS or some other proxy software? What does each
connect to?

the other 2 systems has 10/100/1000 lan cards, I also have
a 4 port 10/100 adsl all in one modem/router

I'm presuming your modem/router has a firewall and does NAT and
DHCP.... ? If not, get a small firewall/gateway appliance that
does, and stick it between your modem & your LAN.

and a 5 port 10/100/1000
switch.
So what I want to do is have the computer with the additional
10/100/1000 nic card install able to transfer files from one of
the other 2 computers at 1GB, I have bridged the system that has
the 2 nic cards installed, do I plug the computers nic running
10/100/1000 to the gigabit switch and the 10/100 nic into the all
in one router?

Pretending you don't have two NICs in that PC, you'd plug
everything, including the DSL modem or router, into your
10/100/1000 Ethernet switch.

If you're using ICS/etc, connect the 10/100 NIC to your DSL modem,
connect the 10/100/1000 NIC to the Ethernet switch, and connect all
the other computers to the same switch.
