[QUOTE="phertiker, post: 193586, member: 13471"] Yeah, make sure the link speed / duplex mode / media type / etc is set for auto negotiation on both machines. You'll find that on the Advanced tab of your ethernet adapter in Device Manager. You aren't using a managed switch, are you? How about just a straight file transfer using windows sharing? You can [i]sort of[/i] gauge how the network is doing by opening up the Task Manager and switching to the Networking tab. For a plain file transfer it should use 70 or 80% of a 100 mbit link. Unfortunately that test pretty much ends there because my network (well, it's mainly Samba which is better at windows shares than windows is) takes about 5% when streaming a 720p x264 file off of an external USB HDD. So who knows. [/QUOTE]
