VERY slpow wireless network - PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi,

I'm getting desperate using my wireless network
I have two PC's. Both was WinXP before, but I installed Win2003 Server on
one of them
And a dLink wireless router (802.11b/g) and two USB 2.0 802.11g adapters
Before I had two 802.11b adapters (one cardbus and another usb) and replaced
with g adapters for better speed

The USB adapters uses both ZyDAS chipset, and they both have their own
configuration utility, which disables the Windows Wireless configuration
utility.

The problem is the network connection is incredible slow.
It takes me between 5-15 minutes to copy a 3-4 mb file between PC's

The same file, if I transfer using ftp (I have a ftp server on a pc and ftp
client on other) takes only up to a minute (still seems slow for a 54 mbs
network, but would be ok even that if cannot do it faster)

I tried everything (setting up as ad-hoc network, without router - in this
case was a little faster, but not significant), I brought both pc and the
router on the same desk (so there was no distance or signal problem at all).
Nothing helped

Does anyone have any idea on what could happen?
What should I do to make it faster?

Thank you for all helps

How big is the file that you are trying to transfer?

Usually between 3-4 MB and 100 MB. Most often around 20-30 MB
