Good Point! Sorry, I didn't leave much to be answered, thankyou very much for pointing that out. I hook up through high speed cable, dynamic IP addressing. TCP/IP on the Mac is set up for DHCP server. The Mac is hooked to a switch that is in turn hooked to a peecee running ICS (internet connection sharing) from Win XP. All the peecee's on the netwrok run fine. I installed a SMC 9432tx card (10/100) in the Mac, the switch is reporting a 100mb connection on all peecees and the Mac. I've even tried hooking the Mac straight to the cable modem, to no avail.
Web pages are loading at a decent rate, as fast as I could expect on a 100mhz, but the dl'n is still at an average of 545bits/sec. I have tried many sites that I am sure support faster downloading, like apple.com, ect. I even went to a local FTP site that shells out 50k to each user, still 545bits/sec. I know I must be missing something, maybe auto-negotiating on the switch? I thought was what made switches faster, I dunno. So with that info maybe there is someone out there that knows whats wrong. Thanx a lot, Mike _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
