OK, here's the setup:

In that situation, everything's fine.

In this situation, a 100MB file xfer between BlacII and WinWDCS (Over all CAT5 cable) get's 4KB max. In the other setup (Everything though the router) I can get 4MB max! And going from the Mactop to the server results in ~330K max.

Help ? !

    That's the likely truth, but what to do about it?

    -Q

    PS. And don't give me some crap answer, I'm serious about this.

    Try plugging net cables into different ports on the switch, see if that helps, but you might've done that already, it's the first thing I do generally.

    Is the switch new or used?
  • QQ
    Used. There's NO way I could afford a 16 port managed switch with fiber.

    Damn. No warranty on it, I suppose. That really sucks. I don't know what to say. You could try posting in the forums at http://www.dslreports.com. There are some very knowlegeable people there.

    Good luck.

    Hey, so you have 4 computers hooked up? Can't you just connect the computers into the router? Hey,I use my router as a Hub (seriously, I have no other use for it)
  • QQ
    I have more machines the router ports, and the switch has other advantages.

    OK One time I had REAL slow transfers (took 20 mnutes to move XP over my LAN)... I have NO idea why it was, but it worked. Heres MY setup:


    (Ill add images later)

    Westell WireSpeed 2200 aDSL modem plugs into internet port on NetGear router. My PC / Server plugs into Port 1, My brothers is on Port 2, then the hub is on Port 4. Then the router plugs into port 1 on the hub, port 2 has my printer, port 3 has the 2GHz laptop, port 4 has the 400MHz.

    I only have a 4 port wireless router. I need to get a hub sometime one is on sale. Did you post over at http://www.dslreports.com, Q?
  • QQ
    OK, I cut the switch out of it, but if I ever want to get the Epson, or another machine online, I'll have to use that.
