E4200: incredibly slow wired-to-wired speeds?

Question

Using 1.0.03.
I am seeing something pretty bizarre: when trying to copy files between two computers (both Windows 7 SP1 64bit), both physically plugged into the back of the E4200, I see extremely slow transfer speeds: 1.0-1.1 MB/sec.  Both computers are fast (i7-2600K, both using SSDs) and both have gigabit ports (and the 4200's web UI shows both ports in question as operating in gigabit mode).
Has anyone else seen this?  This is so slow as to be sort of funny.  Each of these computers see speeds well in excess of that when transferring between the computer and outside internet sites...so it's kind of funny that two computers plugged into the same switch in the back of the 4200 see 1 MB/second.  Any ideas?

This has me curious.  No, I haven't seen this.  How are you copying between systems?  Are you using a homegroup, or have both systems in the same workgroup and are sharing files and/or folders or what?  If both of these computers can access the internet, they should have full access to each other at the same or higher speeds if the Windows is configured properly.  For example, I can copy from one computer connected to my router to an external hard disk connected to the other at about 21MB/sec (using eSATA).  
So if you have these two systems configured so that they can share folders and files, then this should just work.
I guess the first thing I'd try is resetting the router and power-cycling it, and see if that straightens things out...to reset it, press the recessed "reset" button on the back of the router and hold it in for about 30 seconds, then power-cycle it by pulling out the power cord for about 30 seconds and plugging it back in.  As a resutl of doing the reset, you'll have to reconfigure the router (re-enter your settings) since the reset changes all the settings back to factory defaults.
