linksys router--slow speed on one computer, fast speed on other

Hi Bob: Thanks for your suggestions. I did download DrTCP.exe and
attempted to find RWIN without success. Did not fully understand the
operation of the program. However, what I did do was to purchase a
brand new ethernet card, the LINKSYS 10/100 LAN Card, and it
immediately raised the download speed to well over 1000 KBS. I don't
know what was wrong with the previous installed LAN card, but the new
card solved the problem. Cost is less than $12. after $10 rebate.
Best, AAron
