Hi all.
Great site and great forum - this is my first post here. I have what I think is a driver issue in Windows XP.
I have a Gigabyte GA-G31-ES2L motherboard with on-board Realtek 8111C gigabit. I dual-boot Windows XP Pro 32-bit and Ubuntu 8.10 32-bit. My switch is the gigabit TRENDNet TEG-S80G. Check these jperf results:

Thats the screen grab from the jperf server running on my target system. I'm posting this screen grab because it's easier to compare tests. Note the graph. There are 4 tests there, with 4 different colors. All originated from the same client system. The Ubuntu 8.10 test is the white one = 895 Mb/s. The other three are all from the same client system, just running Windows XP instead.
The target jperf server is running Windows XP Pro 32 as well, if that matters.
Why would the Windows tests be half as fast? I grabbed and installed the latest LAN driver from Realtek's site, and achieved the same results.
Where should I start?
