Network Speed


Recommended Posts

I got 2 computers hooked on to each other with a twisted cable both have windows XP on them and the same NIC. Nic is a 3com Etherlink III Bus-Master PCI... Dont know if its 10/100 or 1000 but my guess is 10 cuz when both PCs talk, XP shows the LAN connection speed at 10Mbps.

I wanna be able to watch movies from one machine onto the other and vice versa. Currently i get this massive fps decrease if i try to run anything in other than 100% zoom.

What can i do to:

1- Check my real speed?

2- Should i buy two 1/1000 NICs and replace what i got?

3- Replace the cables buy one in which all 8 wires work?

tips....
