Have had this problem for a couple years, and haven't been able to figure out the problem (not even with the help of brainiac forum goers). Let me explain. There are 3 computers in this house
A. Main Computer
B. My Computer
C. Other guy's computer
A, using a cable modem and a linksys router (BEFSR41) connects to B and C using 2 different cords. When the other guy's computer (C) transfers files from and to computer A, it's as fast as it should be. When B transfers files from and to computer A, it's very slow, much slower than it should be. For example.
Transferring a 400 MB file from computer A to:
Computer B: 17 Minutes
Computer C: 1 minute tops
Why such a difference? It's annoying, but not a huge problem since i don't transfer stuff (then again, maybe i would if it wasn't so damn slow). I think it's something to do with the cord or connection, and not settings here on my computer (tried a lot of different stuff), though i could be wrong. Everything else seems fast, like i get real good pings in games, and browsing is fine as well, it's just sharing from computer B to computer A that's messed up. Can ye help?
