Slow network cards?

[Ian]

I've invested in an ADSL modem + router combo (Belkin) and I'm connecting it to 3 wired PCs, each with a 10/100 NIC.

I've tried transferring some files, but I get REALLY slow rates (10 mins for 600MB). I've checked the options and all cards are running on 100 Full Duplex, and the router is capable.

Anyone with more experience know what could be wrong?

 

[Techy]

is the router set to run at 100?

are all the cables certified for 100?

 

[Techy]

whats the part number of the router ian?

and what cards are you using?

 

[Ian]

Yup to both. Its the onboard network card, Intel 10/100's so it should be good. The router is a "Belkin ADSL Modem with built in Wireless router".

 

[Techy]

you got the model or part number of the router ian?

yea right, but the EtherExpress 100B needs "fixing".

I'll bet things get better if you plonk in a 3com.

I cant see a model number Techy I'm afraid

You not keen on Intel onboard cards Mucks? I think I've got 2 Netgear cards somewhere, I'll give them a go
