ethernet to usb conversion is slow..how fix?

| When I send data over my home LAN ethernet to a hard drive running on a USB
2.0 its very slow data transfer. This is PC to PC over 100baseT wired home
LAN to do disk backups and XP sp2 on all machines. The slowness occurs in
the translation from 10baseT100 to the USB 2.0 and the CPU is 100% utilized.
Are there cards that offload the CPU processing needed to do this
translation?
I have a PCI combo card (w/firewire), brand new installed.
The following clues narrow the problem down to the USB to ethernet
conversion as the problem.:
PC to PC over ethernet from installed HD to installed HD is very fast.
PC from its own C: drive to the USB 2.0 drive is very fast.
but when do PC to PC over ethernet to save data on theh USB 2.0 drive its
very very slow...like 5x slower then drive C: to USB 2.0.
Any thoughts?

Swap the Combo with Ethernet adapter card. Put the Combo as close to
the CPU as possible. Who knows.... Have seen many weird problems
solved by moving cards around :-)
