I have two comps, one has an onboard gigabit nic, the other has a gigabit nic standalone from lanready. They are connected to each other using a cat5e crossover cable.
I am using winxp to transfer files between the two. Both cards are set to 1000 full. I transfered a large file at 100mbps, then at 1000mpbs, both transfers were about the same length of time. Curiously, I used a FTP program to see exactly how fast I was transfering. To my dismay the transfers would fluctuate from 7000kb/s to 9000kb/s. At one time it actually burst to 12000kb/s, but only for a second.
When I ftp to my XBOX I manage to xfer around 11000kb/s. So what is going on here? I have the QoS set to 1% in windows, but that did not fix it. The speeds I am getting are slow, even for 100mbps standards which should theoretically transfer around 12000kb/s (and it does, hence my xbox speeds). So what could be limiting my xfer speeds?
