Hi,

For the XP machine....  Get Dr.TCP.exe download from dslreports.com  tools section.  Set your RWIN to like 250000 or so.... Save  and Reboot....

There may well be other issues going on....but a low RWIN setting is one that gets overlooked very often....

Also try swapping the cables just to make sure your XP cable isn't flaky...you didn't mention if you used the same cable when testing directly thru the modem...

Also, try different ports on the router...if you haven't already done that...
