DeepBlade Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 hi, i have a cross over cable from my 2nd network card on my comp to my laptop, they connect at 100 mbps, and i even manually set it to 100 mbps full duplex in the device manager settings thing... for both laptop and comp, when i FIRST transfered something when i first hooked them up, i had about 60% (of 100 mbps), but now it doesn't seem to ever pass 50% (of 100 mbps), and slowly drops to 25% i don't understand what's going on, is there any way to speed this up a little...?

Buy a gigabit switch :D One thing you have to remember is that 100 mbps is 100 megaBITS per second, not mega bytes. There is 1024 bits in a byte, so do that math.

DeepBlade Posted May 7, 2004 Author Share Posted May 7, 2004 ok i'm not THAT much of a newb...... of course i know 100 mbps is 12.5 mega bytes per second, but since it goes at 25%, that's 3.125 mBytes per second internet optimizer.... ok i will do a search on that, thx Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/164706-newb-question-how-do-i-optimize-bandwidth/#findComment-2071692 Share on other sites More sharing options...
