So after reading a lot of on-line posts I seem to have sorted out two of the major problems I had, speed of Internet access and speed of Ethernet access.
The Internet access problems were solved by opening system preferences - network - advanced - Ethernet and then configuring it manually and setting the speed to 1000BaseT and duplex to full or dull-duplex, flow control (did not seem to make any difference which one was chosen).
The Ethernet connection was a little more difficult to solve, it was taking a full 50 second to move a 50 Mbyte file, it was way faster using wireless. But this was solved by changing SP4 configuration to manual and setting the IP address to the same address as the wireless. The same file now downloads in less than 5 seconds.
But hang on isn't changing from a Windows system to a Mac system supposed to be easy. How many people know what an IP address is, let alone how to change it.
