dougkinzinger Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Ahh. You'll have to get a crossover cable or a hub/switch. Then you can plug your two PC's together. Also, no offense, but there's another thing we computer folk use called goo..gugg..google? I think it's called google. Try that first next time.

OPaul Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 You can get software to measure what speed it is going at, try http://www.tucows.com and see what they have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+John Teacake MVC Posted June 22, 2003 MVC Share Posted June 22, 2003 it wont transfter at 100mbps. u need to divide that speed by 8 (8 bits in a byte or something like that) to get the actual transfer rate. Its megabits not megabytes. so therefore u could only transfer at a maximum of 12800kbps (or 12.8MB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
