Hardware Scenario: 2 PCs connected to a hub/switch and the hub/switch is connected to a Comcast cable modem that is then connected to the Comcast Cable Internet system.
Main Question: Is it possible to route things in a manner that enables the 2 PCs to send data (via FTP or whatever) to each other at LAN speed (10/100mbps)? What happens now is that the data transfer is limited to Comcast's upstream limit (256kbps) because the packets are going out to the internet and coming back to the other PC. How would I set this up so that the packets to go directly through the hub/switch to the other PC resulting in a much faster transfer rate?
Side note: I noticed that 2 PCs running Windows w/ Netbeui and file sharing, the data transfer is that of LAN speed.
So what is Netbeui & Windows File Sharing doing that is allowing the LAN speed connection between the 2 PCs and how can I get my 2 Linux boxes to ftp to each other at LAN speed given the hardware scenario?
Thanks, Sevatio

Are you connected through a hub or a router. In any case if your computers are networked together, why do you need to use ftp at all. Setup the systems as nfs or if they are windows map the drives and you should not need ftp because you can access the files directly. The answer to your question is routing. If you are using a hub then you will not have the problem as long as the two computers have a common protocol to use (windows are using netbeui).
So, you're saying that it makes a difference whether I use a hub or a router? I have both but I've noticed no difference between the two because I still can't send packets directly from one pc to another through the hub/switch via ftp. Also, the netbeui thing was an experiment. I prefer not using netbeui and Windows.
Thanks
