I have a laptop and a desktop connected by lan. The laptop runs Windows XP pro (NTFS) and the desktop Windows 98 (FAT). Both systems have 10/100 mbit NICs installed. I’m using TCP/IP. My problem is that the transfer rate is max. 600+ kbps. This is of course, unnacceptable. The NICs are both setup for auto speed detection. And when I changed them to 100mbps full duplex nothing changed. I’m just wondering what I can do to get a faster transfer rate. I would even be satisfied with 10mbps. But right now its not even 1mbps that I’m getting.
Is it the TCP/IP or the cable or the NTFS/FAT or the HDDs or what?
Thanks in advance for any answers.
