Network Transfer rate

"house is huge and has long cables everywhere"

:blink: WHAT?? I highly doubt your cable lengths are near the limits..

Total distance between an Ethernet Transmitter and Receiver at the absolute end points of the network (maximum diameter from origin to final destination, if the wires were stretched out to form a straight line): 100 Meters (328 ft., 109 yds., or about the length of a football field). This limitation results from the timing of the Ethernet signals on the cable and not necessarily the cable characteristics, and is, therefore, a "hard" number.

is your house longer than a football field? ;)

If you getting 2-3MB/sec wired to wired you got something really wrong -- you should see easy 9MB/sec on a 100mbit network - EASY! if your not seeing over say atleast 7 you major issues!

Vista to Vista should fly -- since you would use SMB2 as stated already.. If you seeing

"300k a sec, wired to wired, from xp to 7"

You got something MAJOR wrong -- you got a mismatch in your duplex? You got bad cabling -- maybe the switch on your router is a POS? but yeah you got something major, major wrong there.

Here doing a file copy from a XP box on 100mbit to my w7 box. And even at those speeds its like watching paint dry, I really need to move their machine to gig.

Thats just Screaming!!! Seeing full throughput there baby -- since test with iperf shows.

C:\iperf>iperf -c kidsdell -w 256k

Client connecting to kidsdell, TCP port 5001

TCP window size: 256 KByte

[284] local 192.168.1.100 port 57139 connected with 192.168.1.101 port 5001

[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth

[284] 0.0-10.0 sec 112 MBytes 93.5 Mbits/sec

93.5 /8 = 11.6875 Which is pretty much what I am seeing, So yeah its Screaming! But if your seeing only 2-3 you got something major wrong with your network - MAJOR wrong!!
