After fighting this for a couple of hours, I finally found the magic solution for me. Since I hadn't seen it here, thought I'd share.
First, a bit about my configuration. I have 2 client machines and a Windows Home Server. One client machine was a new HP that has Win7 Professional, 64bit. The other client machine is a Dell with 32bit Vista on it. The Dell was working just fine. For some odd reason, file copies FROM the HP to any other machine on my network were PAINFULLY SLOW. Even odder, copies TO the HP machine were blazing fast. I first noticed this problem when I tried the initial backup of the HP machine to the Home Server. It was taking FOREVER and I didn't know why. Then, I tried a simple file copy from and that too was very slow.
SOLUTION: In the Advanced tab for my network adapter, I changed IPv4 Checksum Offload to Disabled.
Sigh. This was probably the 10th setting that I had tried (changing each back to its original value when there was no difference).
YMMV.
