don't know if anyone can help with this but my problem is as follows:
i have recently made a home network which incorporates my xbox, 360 and pc.
the xbox and pc are right next to each other, and are both connected to the same ethernet switch.
however when i ftp into the xbox and transfer a file, rather than the full 100mbit i used to get when i plugged it into the pc direct, i get about 2-3mbit tops.
the reason for this (which the flashing lights on the devices give away really) is that rather than the data flowing in the logical path of PC - SWITCH - XBOX and giving me the nice speed, it is in fact taking this less-than-ideal path:
PC - SWITCH - 802.11b BRIDGE - 802.11g MODEM/ROUTER - 802.11b BRIDGE - SWITCH - XBOX
and also - when i tried to unplug the BRIDGE and hopefully force the pc to transfer to xbox directly, the result was that the ip address was no longer seen by the pc!
i have never had 2 nic before- in the past i have jsut used usb adsl modem.
i have got all the relevant diagrams, details of my network laid out on
http://www.rjg.almostmy.com/net which i am crossing things out when they are resolved/i have got round to testing them.
chances are the solution is incredibly easy and i will kick myself!
help or comments would be greatly appreciated on this (IMG:

ps the reason for the bridge is to allow xbox live play while the pc's turned off
