[G4] File transfer speed

[jim carbone]

Hi all,

I recently upgraded my main machine to a G5 and relegated my G4 dual  
1.25 MDD to another room, though I still connect to it to get files  
off the four built-in drives. For a while, I had it connected to my  
LAN via its built-in Airport Extreme card and all was good.

I couldn't wake it up remotely with the wireless card, though, so I  
changed it to a wired connection. Now, I'm finding that it's so much  
slower, when I thought it would be the other way around.

I know my information is vague, but is this normal? Any hints on  
where to start looking to speed this connection up?

Thanks,
