[Addictedtokaos]

Try this
Go into your nic configuration properties and in advanced tab and Set Large Send Offload v2 (IPv4) and (IPv6) - to Disable

try this on both machines

How big are the files you are transfering? One big file will go faster than a folder with mp3s for example. Also different drives will write and read at different rates. Mind you ....you said the crossover cable works fine...

I don't use the wireless capability. Like my first post explains, I'm wired with CAT6 cables.

I've got the IPv6 Offload disabled on both machines. Don't I need IPv4 though? And if that was the issue, wouldn't it manifest itself over the crossover cable too?

Could just be a defective switch in the router.

I know the DIR-655 is capable of doing the same speeds you get on Crossover as I used to run one as my main router. All my file transfers were in the 80-100MB/s range.

Ok, Resetting the router to factory defaults and then reconfiguring from scratch solved the issue. Both computers are now transferring at proper speed.
