[AccessD] OT: Network speeds

Yep.  There is a switch at either end (behind the servers) and a switch in the middle.  But is the a 
switch the issue at all?  I am reading a ton of "Windows 2008 R2 to anything transfer speed sucks" 
stuff out on Google.

For example:

The servers at both end are Windows 2008 R2.  It looks like my work is cut out for me.
