Network Speed

I've run into a networking issue on my home network where one box is extremely slow on downloading and just in general browsing. The slow box is a Dell XPS 400 running Fedora Core 5. I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 running RHEL 4 WS which has no speed issues at all. They are both plugged into the same SOHO firewall which is connected into a cable modem. I'm pretty much at a loss, so any ideas would be a great help..
Here are some of the details.
Broadband speed test at Speak Easy shows:
*Core 5 * = Down 11.6 KB/sec transfer rate / UP 41.5 KB/sec transfer rate
*RHEL4 WS * = Down 383 KB/sec transfer rate / UP 43.3 KB/sec transfer rate
*Core 5 *= ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 100Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: Twisted Pair
PHYAD: 0
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
Supports Wake-on: umbg

*RHEL4 WS* = ethtool eth0
