Do you get the same result when using the on board 10BT? Is AppleTalk active on the Ethernet port? If it is, set it to the printer port or off--it will only slow your TCP connection. My 7500 was painfully slow (but not that bad) until I switched AppleTalk to the printer port. It still only gets 50-70k instead of the 200-300k that the PC gets, I assume due to slower bus on the computer. Internet should not be slowed by the 10BT, (Unless you could get >1MB/s!!) but I may have heard of problems with the on board 10BT and 100BT switches not negotiating correctly (unless that is a problem on the AAUI transceiver, I have no problems with my 7500 on board with a 100BT switch.)
