help please? I've got 2 computers connected thru a 10Mbps Netgear EN104tp ethernet hub. Each computer is using a Netgear FA310TX card. I tested out the file transfer times for 200mb, 500mb and 1000mb and they all averaged out to be 1Mbps transfer from 1 computer to another. I called up tech support and they blamed it on the IRQ's being shared. I can see the Netgear card is using IRQ 9, which is shared with Vortex AU8810 PCI audio (sound card), IRQ holder for PCI steering, and Vortex AU8810 Multifunction PCI platfrom. I'm also using a USR modem, video card and a PCI USB card that are only using other IRQs. I think this isnt too much, and would be a basic setup for many people. So does this mean other people are putting up with the 1Mbps when it's supposed to go 10Mbps? How can I take full advantage of 10Mbps w/o removing any cards?
both computers running win98 SR2.
