I've been trying different things to get faster file transfer speeds with my "10/100 Fast Ethernet Network Adapters" but I can't seem to get much over 10 Mbps.
This is just peer-to-peer from a desktop to a laptop with a crossover cable. I've tried it using NeTBEUI or TCP/IP and the speeds are about the same. I'm set up at Full Duplex and 100baseTX on both rigs.
DESKTOP = Asus A7V133, Athlon 900 @ 1005 (134 x 7.5), Intel InBusiness PCI NIC.
LAPTOP = Dell Latitude CPxJ, P3 650Mhz (100 x 6.5), 3Com 3CXSH572BT PC-Card NIC.
Here's how I'm figuring my speed. I use a stopwatch to time the transfer of a file that is 86,885,393 bytes (or 82.8 Mbytes). It takes 65 seconds to complete the transfer. So, 86,885,393 / 65 = 1,336,698 bytes per sec. So, 1,336,698 (bytes) x 8 (bits) = 10,693,586 bits per sec. So it looks like my transfer speed is 10.7Mbps.
I was just curious if anyone with a similar setup was getting close to 100 Mbps or even 50 Mbps.
