I did some more testing now, using two different gigabit switches: the DLINK I was talking about, and a SMC 8 port gigabit switch and the results were similar.

The result is cristal clear:
- When transferring files FROM the laptop TO the desktop, the transfer speed is ab out 25 MB/sec.
- When transferring files FROM the DESKTOP TO the LAPTOP the transfer speed is about 11 MB/sec.

So, my new question is: how can I bypass the beforementioned SMB protocol limitation ?

Any other ideeas are welcomed and highly appreciated.
