No in your case things are different.
I'd start looking for MTU and packet latency problem in your situation.
For the most part, I have seen NO degradation under Linux in larger LAN
environments, 100 - 1000 nodes. I've run Linux as a very capable Router/NAT
box servicing 1000 nodes as well.
There is a remote chance of a driver problem, vis-à-vis your Ethernet card,
so my first choice would be to try a different LAN card. Remember that
Windows may be able to correctly configure the Ethernet card's defaults,
while Linux may be using a more generic driver. Switching cards might solve
this.
If this yields the same results then it's time to look elsewhere. The
problem is probably external to Linux.

I have encountered this as well but in a network enviroment
does it have a speed setting like Setserial for ethernet?
