I'm back again. In relation to a message that I posted
yesterday - see below:
("I've set up a network between my laptop and my desktop
and I need to transfer approx 6gb of data from my laptop
to my desktop using a crossover cable. the desktop
recognises the shared files but when I go to copy them
across the transfer speed drops to about 12Kbps (Yes,
thats Kbps). Using my broadband connection I am getting
approx 58Kbps on my laptop but using the same connection
on my desktop will give me a speed of only 10-13 Kbps.
I've set and reset the duplex modes on both PCs. I've even
replaced the network card on my desktop just in case it
was faulty. The bottleneck is obviously on my desktop but
I can't figure out where. Both machines run XP Home.
My desktop is a Dell, 1.6ghz, 768mb SDRAM with approx 30gb
of free space").
I haven't had a solution or any ideas to sort the problem
so if anyone could help me in any way I would be eternally
grateful as this is doing my ******* head in!!!!!!
Ta.
 
Long shot but depending on what kind of data (com's,
exe's etc.) your virus scanning software may be slowing
the transfer.
