There seems to be a general concensus that a crossover cable by definition is limited to 10Mbps or less.
The cable should be capable of 100Mbps half-duplex.
The only thing I could guess was that maybe the 10/100 LED would change from yellow to green when a 100Mbps connection is made. I was guessing a that because the other 2 LEDs only glow green.
It's possible that due to other limitation the connection is 100Mbps but the computers may not be transferring data faster than you are seeing. Any number of components could be causing a bottle neck.
But I guess that LED being on only means the card is >capable< of a 100Mbps connection, and isn't actually monitoring or testing the connection. It sure isn't detecting the crossover cable or bothering to turn the LED off if it is.
Be sure to check the driver settings, you may need to set the driver to operate at 100Mbps.
I'm not quite sure were to go from here to find out why I'm not getting faster transfers through this new LAN switch than I am with just a crossover cable.
This may be as good as you can get from you combination of hardware.
