Speed test on LAN

I know there are an assortment of websites that will allow you to test your upload and download speeds from your ISP, but are there any tools that can be used to test the speed between two computers on your LAN?

The reason I ask is because I want to check my wireless LAN to make sure that the computers that support 802.11n are choosing that over the 802.11g that is also running (my wireless is set up for compatibility).

Thanks!
