Hi,

I am trying to transfer files from my old Windows XP machine to my new 10.4.4 iMac Core Duo. The machines are connected via a wireless network (Wireless Extreme on the iMac).

I have tried connecting from the Mac to the Win XP using the standard Network menu. This lets me transfer files *slowly* (up to about 90KB/ sec). I also tried the other way, connecting to the Mac from the Win XP, this was worse, with transfers up to about 40KB/sec.

Standard Safari based downloads from the Internet achieve up to 380KB/ sec (over ADSL2).

Can I get a faster connection over wireless? I have an ethernet cable (Win XP to router) - can I just connect this to the Mac ethernet port and transfer files?

Thanks if you can assist.

David.
