What does ifconfig -a shows ? You can also test network speed with
a tool like ttcp, is't more usefull to explore network performances
than ftp (which mixes performances of different subsystems).

Note that not all gigabit network adapters or switches can support a
sustainted link-rate traffic, but 25MB/s looks low anyway

It should.
