Jonathan,

I did some checking, I first did a direct connect to my notebook and got 
15.1Mbps. . I re-installed a new fw box w/ a 300MHz K-6 chip and 128k, 
running smoothwall 2.0  Ran the test again and got between 1.7Mbps and 2.9. 
I'm guessing the hub now.. but how can I really check if the hub is going 
bad? my hub is a corega FSW-8A 5 port switching hub. I really lost on this 
one..
