"Fast Ethernet" = 10 mbit/s?

So, here's the scoop...

I've got a server and a desktop machine in my room, hooked up to a D-Link DSS 1105, which is then subsequently plugged into my D-Link router. My router, switch, and NIC cards are all "Fast Ethernet" or 100 mbit/s, however, whenever I transfer something between the two, it will only go at a max of 1.25 mB/s, or 10 mbit/s.

All my drivers are up to date, and Windows Updates are all installed.  I have no idea what could be the bottleneck here.  To my knowledge all my cables are cat5. 

WTF?

I fail at networking, and you don't know that "Fast Ethernet" is what's used to refer to 100 mb/s in most instances? Do you think I'm not competent enough to read product manuals to ensure that they support 100 mbit/s--or "fast ethernet", as every manual also referred to it as.

Through some trouble-shooting, and a trying a few different routers, I found that the software firewall I was using was the culprit.  Probably due to the fact that it was cracked software--in any case, I guess I'll just be adding more rules to my router.
