Okay so I bought a dlink gigabit switch and confirmed in Windows that I now have a gigabit connection between the NAS and the PC.
However the backup program I'm using still gives me craptastic throughput from the PC to the NAS when backing up (we're talking sub 100mb/s speeds here, usually bottoms out around 80mb/s) whereas a cloning to a second drive in the same PC nets me 500mb/s.
Adding the switch did relieve the one issue with everything connected to the Bell 2wire. Try to run the backup and my web surfing was chocked to sludge, not so now.
After the switch was added, during one of the many wire swappings, I somehow managed to bung up the network connection for the NAS to the point where I had to re create them all (used this as an excuse to manually assign an IP address now)
But I think I've bunged something up huge now because now the file transfers between the PC and the NAS are so slow that the PC now says a 96.0 GB file move to the NAS will take 7 hours!
ARGH!
