I guess that this was really my question.  Where do I find the transfer
rates that I'm currently getting.  My network card is a 10/100 card
(whatever that means).  I don't know what type of cable I have, but its
about 10 feet long (perhaps too long?).

How can I look at my network traffic and see what sorts of speeds I'm
getting?
