Here is the thing...

On my PC, if I copy a file (100 MB) "FROM" my Mac over the network it takes less than a minute. But if I copy the file "TO" the Mac it takes like forever.

On my Mac, a file copy "TO" and "FROM" with the same 100MB file and takes less than a minute.

I tried disabling all my firewalls and antivirus, and none working.

I'm running Windows XP on PC and Mac OS X Tiger on the Mac, and using the D-Link DGL4300 router, all wired, both manually set to 100mbit FD.

Anyone can help me with this weird thing ?

Why not use the DGL's gig interfaces? Unless your mac is very old.

PC and network printer only uses, 100mbit FD, the Mac has 1Gbit interface though. Because I thought that all devices attached to a gigabit router/switch needs to support a 1gbps interface to even have 1gbps transfer... dunno exactly actually, any comments on this?
