Slow speed on 2900

People,

Why is it that if I transfer files from either of my pcs to the other, via either of my 2900 series switches, I only seem to get 10Mbps speed?

Both pcs have 100Mbps adaptors, they both say they are connected at 100. I have tried the switch ports on auto, as well as setting them to full duplex and 100.

I'm sure I've missed something simple...

Thanks

Are you sure the transfer isnt happening at around 10MB/s which is different to 10Mb/s

This is why for example if you have a 1Mb xDSL connection files only download at around about 90-120KB/s (there are overheads in there too) The windows file download Quotes in Bytes all the connection speeds are quotes in Bits.

Personally I think its all a bit of a marketing ploy!

Yeah, I know what you are saying, but when it takes about a minute to transfer a 30MByte file (less than 5Mbits/sec by my calculations), something can't be right. If I transfer the same file via my US robotics router, it takes just a few seconds.
