I'm going to go back and try the forced full duplex and no auto
negotiation but for now I discovered if I run the cables to my 8 port 
router direct instead of thru a hub.  I get blazingly fast speads.

One box is still run thru the hub and its fast too so its not just
the hub but more likely one or more nic negotiations with that hub
are not producing optimal throughput.
