open the lan card properties from device manager and go to advanced tab. Select 'Link speed & duplex' to 10 Mbps or above. Basically that should marginally help you. But, make sure your hdd is not the bottleneck.
BTW did it used to be faster earlier?? Post ur transfer speed and 'connected at' speed.

How can i speed up my lan connection? when ever i am transfering data over the local network its very slow. pls suggest ideas.
see if you are using a hub to connect your lan( which is quite obvious )then there is no way to make your lan connection fast. becasue hub first broadcast the data over the network n checks every machine for correct delievery which cause a problem n data transfer will be slow.
