Ive got a LAN set up here at home. There are two computers with 10/100mbps NIC's connected to a 10/100mbps hub, with a third computer acting as the Internet gateway, with either a 10/100mbps or a 10mbps nic(Not sure which). The server is cooencted to the internet via a usb DSL modem. So far everything works fine. The problem comes when I try and copy stuff from the server(The internet gateway machine) to my main machine. Im currently trying to copy about 14Gb of stuff across, and its only done half of it in about 3hours 
Does anyone have any suggestions of what the problem might be? Even if the server's NIC is only 10Mbps, surely it shouldnt go this slow? Another questions is; Say the server's NIC is 10Mbps, would the rest of the network be pulled down to 10Mbps, or would only the connection with the server run at that speed?
