Got a WRT54G on a 3 computer network. It's a bit of a mishmash - desktop running Me, 2 laptops running XP SP2 and 2000 respectively, the desktop being hardwired to the router and the laptops connected wirelessly (54mb nominal). The network speeds (PC to PC transfer not internet) seem always to be a lot slower than I'd expect (even allowing for a big chunk of overheads) - it's almost as if the router's running the LAN at the speed of the internet connection.

Anyone got any inspired ideas for things to try / investigate?
