Slow ftp in one direction was the first question
I ever asked here, at least five years ago.  
It's not more complex than it has been since
that time.  

We're still using the same 10/100 cards,
mixing ISA and pci, mixing duplex and speeds.  Most 
often it's auto-negotiation related, as we know.  
Beware the reset button  <-- That's my big discovery.
Power completely off and then on to be sure the
nics autonegotiate the way they were meant to.
Force all variables if necessary.  Hubs are half
duplex only.  Try matched nics.  Use nic based sender-
responder tests.  That sort of thing.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
