If both PC's are using 1000, then you are limiting your speed by the current 100Mbit switch/Router. To to take full advantage of the speed, you need a gigaswitch for your PC's to plug into then plug your router into the switch.

IPv6 is also a headache to work with. Using a Hex numbering system for subnets is retarded. Even IPv4 and VLSM is retarded.
