Wireless Speed Issue!

[Warpy]

Greetings,

Has anyone come across this before: I'm sending a file across my network at home and the transfer speed is so slow! Its taking over 200mins just to send a 1GB file. Could it be the encryption on the network as It's set to WEP 128bit, using Shared Key for Authentication. The network is wireless 11mbit.

could be a weak signal or interference?

Signal is full strength. I've had this problem even when its connected into the router via LAN cable. I seem to remember there is a fix just cant remember.

Thanks guys for the input.

I have manually set the duplex on the PC which isn't connected via wireless to 100MBPS FULL Duplex which I hope is right?

The Wireless router has authentication set to "Open" instead of "Shared" and I'm still getting very slow data transfer between he two PC's.

The wireless laptop will download from he net at 400kb/sec which is good for my connection, when sending the files between the two computers I am not downloading from the net though

My problem is exactly the same as this guys here: Slow network transfer

Do I need netBIOS, I just have the following in my network properties on the PC.

TCIP
