You've got the right answer. Most likely, your two NICs are set at two different duplexes.
Hard drive speed isn't really your bottleneck. UDMA/33 is 33 MB/s burst rate (that's megaBYTE ). You're network (if the duplex settings are correct, will be 100 Mb/s ( that's megaBIT ), or about ~12 MB/s (and that's with a perfect CAT5 cable, clean heads, etc., etc. )
So.. check your NIC settings and maybe your cabling ( if you built them yourself... though, I have seen bad pre-built patch cables out of the box....
