It seems that a setting of 100 at both ends of the connection approximately doubles the transfer speed between the two computers but greatly slows down the laptop's transfer speed from the internet. The window size setting may fix this, but I'm not sure how to set it. It seems that ethtool doesn't find any information about the cards on either end of the network cable. - From the PC: ethtool eth1 Settings for eth1: No data available - From the laptop: ethtool eth0 [same result] man ifconfig and ethtool both provide no information regarding window size.
