not without telling us:

the brand of ethernet card.
what hardware that card is hooked up to (switch/hub) how busy that is.
what kind harddrives you have.
what about transfer back and forth between the two machines?
have you enabled any TCP extentions?
what your "systat -iostat" looks like.
how many simultanious http request are you serving?

i can get 11MB/sec on my boxes. :)
