Hi,
I have a 100Mbps hub connected via it's uplink port to a 100Mbps switch.
One of the machines connected to the hub is 10Mbps.
Now when the 10Mbps machine wants to transfer files to a machine located on
the switch, the hub experiences vary high collision rates on it's 10Mbps
portion, but no collisions are seen on it's 100Mbps portion or on the
switch.
This is giving me a very poor 100kB/s transfer rate, which is painful when
wanting to transfer 25GB of data!
I have set my network card to both half duplex and full duplex, but it only
ever achieves half duplex, and still has the high collision rate.
Does anyone know what could be causing this, and how I can resolve the
problem?
Could be a bottleneck problem due to the 10/100 switchover? Maybe the
collisions are actually discards and not collisions?
HUB: Netgear DS108
SWITCH: Netgear FS105
NIC: Realtek 10Mbps
Thanks.
