| 309092 | 2004-12-31 01:21:00 | Hey, When transferring large files between my Windows box and my FC2 box, I consistently only get 50mbit transfer speeds. Now I know I won't get 100, but I should get a minimum of 60-70mbps. I have put my Windows NIC into full duplex mode, and wish to force full duplex on my fc2 box as well. How do I go about it? (card is a realtek 8139 (the cheap DSE ones) Ash |

| 309094 | 2004-12-31 02:53:00 | I was doing transfer tests between two Realtek RTL8139 NIC's and we found that the speed varied between protocols. FTP was consistently faster than SAMBA, and SCP (SSH/Fish) was approx the same as Samba. We got an average of 40mbps with samba (Windows File-sharing) and FTP gave about 49 approx average. Full Duplex means Send/Receive concurrently, not what you're thinking of being only half-speed ;) We were using a brand spankin new CAT6 Cable also. Cheers Chill. |
