You might be right in a sense, but like I said: Windows-to-Windows file transfers can easily be sustained at 11-12Mbytes/s. That's up to over 90% of 100Mbit bandwidth. In fact, if you review the theoretical part of Ethernet and TCP/IP, you'd find that it's very possible. On 7/27/05, Sean Hafeez <[

Let me fix my typo here. I get 60+Mbits out of 100Mbits on a 10/100 network. The Max SUSTAINED thru-put you will ever see will be around 70Mbits. There is an overhead that means that you will only see .7 of the theoretical. -Sean On Jul 26, 2005, at 4:13 PM, Andrew P. wrote: Erm, we

Erm, well 60+Mbytes is no wonder in a Gigabit environment (and it is too much of a wonder in a FastEthernet one), but I'm interested in getting 100Mbit hardware to work at full speed. Thanks for your 2 cents anyway, Andrew P. On 7/27/05, Sean Hafeez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I get 60+Mbytes be

I get 60+Mbytes between my FreeBSD 5.4 and Mac via NFS. I get 40-60Mbytes between my FreeBSD 5.4 and Windows 2K box via Samba. Good NICs help. Intel 10/100 Pro. Google for Samba tuning also. -Sean On Jul 26, 2005, at 4:00 PM, Andrew P. wrote: Hello all! I remember being able to reach 1
