OT Tunning your network

2003-02-16 Thread faisal gillani
Well sorry for this OT  question ..
well i have a 100mbps LAN with utp cable  100mbps
switch hubs .. connecting about 60 + pc together.
there are all flavours of O/S running Linux , Windows
 Unix .
the name resolution is done by DNS .
there is a local webserver Apache running that
provides media files to clients as downloads .
the Issue is that the download speed i get on my local
lan is ranging from 400kbps to 1.5 mbps both in normal
 rush hour.
Is this normal ? or not ?
i asked this same question on a Windows newsgroup but
they werent able to help me .. can you ?


thankx for reading 
take care
