I have a problem with my 2 computer gigabit network. When copying files from machine A to machine B I only get 15Mb/s. When copying from machine B to machine A I get about 50Mb/s.

I've tried switching network cables and network adapters and still the same results. Also the results are the same for Windows XP or Vista on machine B.


Machine A: Biostar P4m900M4 mobo P4 3.4GHz 1GB of Ram Intel Pro/1000 GT PCI Network Adapter SATA 3.0Gb/s HDD Windows Server 2003

Machine B: Abit IP35 Pro mobo Q6600 4GB of Ram Intel Pro/1000 PT PCIe Network Adapter SATA 3.0Gb/s HDD Dual Boot Windows XP Pro and Windows Vista Ultimate

Router: D-Link DGL-4300

All OS's have the latest updated and both network adapters have the latest drivers.

:confused: Help Plz!!!!
 
you tried different ports on your router (just a thought)?? Also... maybe see if it's software Dependant by testing on a different protocol (HTTP, install apache on one?) or even better; using a lan speed tester to rule out hdd's/IO.

Theres a really good command line one for windows, just run it on one and point the other at it's IP and it gives you reliable readouts.. cant remember it's name tho :P

iperf is probably what you're thinking off, command line for any OS in fact, just compile to suit. Couldn't live without it.
