I'm running a very basic setup here... Linksys Wireless (B) router.

2 desktops and 2 laptops, but only 1 desktop and 1 laptop are currently on right now. All are wireless.

I'm trying to copy SP2 (250 megs?) to my desktop, and it's taking FOREVER. It says 20 mins remaining! I might as well just redownload the thing at this slow slow rate. 10 mins to download it vs. 20 for network transfer (file share.. the \\ipAddress\c$ method).

Something's not right here! I know 10Mbps is a bit slower than most, but it shouldn't take 20 minutes! My broadband is 4Mbps, so.. I can only guess my network is operating at 2 and below. Both machines have "Excellent" signal from the router, which is directly below me (and both machines) in the basement.

What can I do to make sure things are set properly to insure a full and proper transmission?
