Double check what the connection speed is for XP.  You can do the same
using ethtool under Linux.  You should see 100mbit, full duplex on
both.

One problem could be if you have flaky cables, the switch or the NICs
could attempt to re-negotiate the link speed frequently, and kill your
bandwidth.

So I would try different cables, or maybe even pick up an inexpensive
ethernet switch (not "hub"!), and see if that makes a difference.
Maybe it is a problem with the switch in the router...
