Make sure your network connections are Full Duplex and that
auto-negotiation is off, at the Windows box, the Sun box and at the switch.

> They start out as 5Mb/sec, but within a couple hours, it's slowed down
> to a paltry 50Kb/sec or less according to the detailed status. After 16
> hours, it's only at 3,000 files and about 4.5Gb of backed up data.  At
> the rate it's going, a full backup (+/- 60Gb) will take *weeks*, not
> hours.

> The server itself doesn't seem to be overloaded, no processes are really
> that dominant, and the load is under .25 for the most part. I suspect it
> might be a config issue beyond the default settings in the Win box, but
> I have yet to find anything to outline better settings or things to try.
