Has anyone else noticed a difference between Windows and Linux in the
maximum error-free rate that the ‘Network Test’ facility on a
Squeezebox can run at on a wired Ethernet connection?

I’ve a collection of mostly old PCs running either Windows XP, WHS or
Linux on my home LAN. I’ve loaded Squeezebox Server on to them. If I
then do a network test to each server I consistently see that it will
run at 5000 kbps for a good long while if the server is on Linux, but
it craps out quite soon at 1500 on any of the Windows machines.

I was wondering if this is an anomaly with the ‘Network Test’ plugin or
my particular LAN setup (Netgear GS608v2), or perhaps a known difference
in the network performance of the OS, which seems unlikely to me, hence
the question.
