I pisked up a cheap generic 10/100 LAN switch today hoping to increase the speed of tranfers from one Lib to the other while networked. But I'm only getting the same rates as I was using just the crossover.
I've got 3 straight through twisted pair CAT5 cables, the Linksys PCM100 Etherfast PC card, my old Xicom combo modem/LAN card, and a generic 'Network Anywhere" card in the desktop.
I tested the same transfer from L100 to L70 through the LAN switch with combinations of the 3 cables. I tried the same transfer from the L100 with the Linksys card to the desktop with combinations of the cables
All transfers actually turned out to be a tad slowed than using the crossover cable. All rates averaged 4.7Mbits/sec.
I've also been on live online support with Linksys, and can't determine if the middle LED for 10/100 on the PCM100 Etherfast NIC is supposed to switch from yellow to green connected at 100Mbps. All they can tell me is when the light is 'on', it's connected at 100. But it's been on, and yellow for all my transfers using the crossover cable. Anyone know if that 10/100 LED is supposed to change from yellow to green to indicate either a 10 or 100 connection?
Matt
