I have a W2k Advanced Server network
with two pcs running XP pro / TCP/IP only. The hardware on the pc’s is
irrelevent aside from that they all use 3com 3c905x NICs. The Network also
comprises an 8 port switch (unmarked, but I think it may benetgear, if my
memory serves me correctly) and Linksys BEFSR11 DSL router sharing the DSL
about. The server runs active directory DNS , IIS, and G6 FTP server.
The darndest problem:
a 600mb file transferring between pc1 and the server completes in about 4
min or less. The same file on pc2 takes anywhere from 20 to 120 min. If I
unplug pc1 from the network, or shut it down, it transfers on pc2 in less
than 10 min.
Thoughts:
If the problem resolves by taking pc1 off of the net, then why does pc1 have
no problem transferring files?
Anyone have a clue, because I shure don’t
Thanks in advance
