I agree in that I am using whichever tool is available to measure the |
| 2 |
speed eg. konqueror file transfer dialog or bmon to monitor rate |
| 3 |
however I am not talking optmisations here where the same tool would |
| 4 |
be necessary |
| 5 |
eg. win to lin 39Mb file > 6 minites |
| 6 |
win to win 39Mb file <20 seconds all on same hardware and network |
| 7 |

The network itself comprises 10/100 nic's and a linksys WAG54G |
| 9 |
gateway/router which again is 10/100. |

Well .. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
After writing all of this I went back to playing with it all and I |
| 37 |
"think" I have somthing that could be considered to be acceptable. |
| 38 |
using figures above I have acheived a speed [konqueror dialog] of around |
| 39 |
2.6Mb/s ~ 22.6Mbps on a 300Mb file |
| 40 |
which is a dramatic improvement really, though I have got to the point |
| 41 |
where I have chased the issue round and up my ..... |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
but that said transfers are not painful so I seem to have a reasonable |
| 44 |
resolution |
| 45 |
Thanks for reading. |
