    Anyone else having problems with speed of ethernet transfer on this or other Acer notebooks? There is realtek gigabit ethernet adapter in my TravelMate, my PC has gigabit netwoork too, both are conected to gigabit edimax schitch and both computer says connection is 1Gbit. If I transfer to other PC through network, it goes up to speed of HDD (30+ MB/s), but while I try to copy files to my notebook, it runs 2.7-3MB/s. Tried restarts, tried new ethernet drivers from realtek, no change.

    But I have one suspicion, notebook first connects through wifi and gets AP name to mark network. After system boots up, I disable wifi and plugin cable. But name for network stays same as with wifi connection (ie name of my AP). Is there any chance, that Win (have Win7 HP) just assume that I'm still copying over wifi and use some reduced speed? 3MB/s is max I get over my wifi :)
