Copy from server to workstation slow

[Toni]

Hi.

When I copy 200MB file from Windows 2003 server to Windows XP workstation,
it takes more than 10 minutes. It should really take less than 2 minutes to
copy 200MB file over 100Mbit NIC.

several things could be the problem

look here for some answers and is the problem the same going both ways?

Thank you for fast replay.
Actually, I solved the problem by changing all NICs in server in workstation
with 1G cards and connected all to 1G switch. Now to copy 200MB file takes
only 20 seconds.
