So, remove your Internet connection, and then completely clear the firewall with $ iptables -F $ iptables -t nat -F Now perform some simple tests by FTP'ing files in both directions between your Linux box and XP box. If you get slow speeds doing this, then netfilter/iptables is not the cause of your grief. Use 'mii-tool'or 'ethtool' to set/reset/re-negotiate/force the speed and duplex parameters for the Linux box :) Good luck! Cheers, Gavin.
