58294 2002-06-29 05:54:00 I am working from a ME based computor through a Fiery Rip running NT
The hub is a 10/100 but i find that I am sending down at high speed but back to me is extremely slow. we have proven that it is my computor at fault but I would like to find out where to start looking to correct the problem

58296 2002-06-29 10:24:00 If your ethernet adaptor allows, set the speed to 10M (assuming your adaptor is 10/100). If your throughput improves, check the cabling. I have seen an installation where some idiot wired RJ45s as 4 parallel pairs. This gave 1 pair and 2 half pairs for the RX/TX circuits - managed to work at 10M, but absolutely abysmal performance at 100M. wuppo (41)
