Its a limitation of both wireless and Windows XP

Windows XP's IP4 Stack is pretty limited and can only reach about 11/100ths of a connection's speed without help (Read: 11mb/s for a 100mb/s ethernet connection.)

Wireless however, suffers from collisions constantly. Wireless throughput: (Total Advertised throughput - 10) / 2 = Real throughput

Thats not factoring range, antenna angle, signal strength, or the number of computers youre using on wireless.

1 computer can trasnmit at about 23mb/s on wireless G

2 computers can transmit at about 10mb/s on wireless G

3 computers can transmit at 4mb/s

See where this is going?
