Wired or wireless. If wireless is it using B / G / N ?

just tested the 2nd XP machine that had 1.2Mbps and it now showed 6Mbps. I think the windows update might have been downloading.

That leaves the original XP machine that still has 3Mbps tested many times. It has more stuff running. I wonder if something is using the bandwidth.

On the 2ND xp machine that tested at 6Mbps, RWIN is 37752.

The only other thing I can think of that might be causing the difference would be that the NIC is set to 10mbs instead of 100mbs or auto. Vista does a good job of setting the correct values so I would look at the XP systems for the problem.
