network speed question

I found the mtu setting originally and changed it first.  It seems that a
setting of 100 at both ends of the connection approximately doubles the transfer
speed between the two computers but greatly slows down the laptop's transfer
speed from the internet.  The window size setting may fix this, but I'm not sure
how to set it.  It seems that ethtool doesn't find any information about the
cards on either end of the network cable.

- From the PC:

ethtool eth1
Settings for eth1:
No data available

- From the laptop:

ethtool eth0
[same result]

man ifconfig and ethtool both provide no information regarding window size.

Thanks for any help,
Lorenzo
