Re: [PLUG] Hardware/Ethernet question
|
It sounds like a duplex mismatch. Your old machine is probably 10Mbps
half duplex and the other machines are 100Mbps full duplex. If you
don't mind messing with your network temporarily, make everything 10Mbps
half duplex, then when the transfer is complete, switch everything back
to auto-detect. Otherwise just wait till its done downloading. Also,
I'm assuming that all the machines are on one router.

From my Linux machine, I tried copying files from an old win95 machine

rate was slower than my DSL download rate.
Opinions?
* Is it just a matter of this being from one machine to another
*via* a third machine?
* Does the SMB layer have anything to do with it?
* Or a slow hard drive on the 486/w95 machine?
* Does it have anything to do with the fact that it is old 10 mb
Ethernet instead of 100 mb?
* If it is the Ethernet limitation, is it also slowing down my DSL?
* Suggestions?
