Slow network transfer within LAN

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hello,

I am noticing; well I have always noticed with Windows that when you need to drag and drop files between computers they always go slow. We're talking 1-2% of a 100Mbs 100% switch LAN. It's getting annoying and I was wondering what I can do to speed things up.

Transfers are between XP and XP and XP and 2003 just dragging and dropping with in mapped and unmapped drives.

If I do FTP, HTTP, SSH, and other transfers on the Internet I can saturate the Internet connection. When I use to run an FTP server on the LAN I was able to reach 100% through put. Why can't I without the FTP server. I want to avoid the FTP server on the LAN as I'd like to just stick with my mapped drives.

Thanks,

TC
