buying an additional piece of hardware probably wouldn't solve your problem...
OK, troubleshooting basics:
1) quantify the "slowness". run an internet bandwidth test on both PC's. Transfer a file from 1 machine to another. Change its name and transfer it back. Compare the 2, they should be close (no more than +/- 10% difference)
2) check the integrity of the cabling. Change the cable. (redo #1)
3) check ports. Move the connection to another port. (redo #1)
4) run a spyware/malware/virus check (in safe mode) on both PC's (redo #1)
5) do a HARD reset back to factory defaults (usually involves pushing and holding reset button while booting up...your manual should have the "how to")
by this point you should have identified or eliminated the problem. if not, you've got me...
GLC, any insights?
