Hello peeps

I currently have a 10/100 LAN, with a few computers on it. The main computers are my desktop and server.

Both the desktop and server have 2 x 1gb cards, and, as they are only a few feet apart, I have created a direct Ethernet link between them.

So, the desktop and server sit on the "Home" network via NIC #1, and are directly linked via NIC #2.

What I am trying to achieve is a 1gb transfer speed between the server and the desktop, without saturating the rest of the network (which will be upgraded to 1gb soon).

NIC #1 have been set-up using static IP, but I am not entirely sure how to set up NIC #2 on both machines to get what I want. They are currently set to obtain IP automatically.

I have also tried to bridge the networks, but I am not getting the transfer speeds I was expecting... they just sit at 10mb/s :confused:

Can anyone suggest a configuration? I have tried googling, but I just get general network setting up lol

Merry Christmas

Windows 7 Pro etc...
 
so far I have tried all of the above, but, using network monitor gadgets, #1 is still being used for transfer.

these are my current netstats...
