slower than usual

does any one know what is the standard transfer rate of a gigabit network i tought that it was 125mb per sec but mine is going a 45! can anyone tell me how to use the full potential !? Repzors

Could be limited by the hardware on one of your machines... Is one of them a low spec machine?

erm are you talking about your network speed or internet speed?

 

[limqareb]

network , one of the pcs is a p4 2.8ghz

 

[bloodthirst]

do you have GIGABIT network adaptors on your computers lol?

do you have cat6 ethernet cabling?

 

[limqareb]

i have gigabit network adaptor and cat 5e

What about the harddrives that are doing the data transfer....if a 5400RPM or less hard drive is doing something in the background (like utilizing the page file), along with transfering files....that could be your bottleneck.

Don't feel bad...last night I don't know what the hell happened but my 100Mbps network took 5 minutes to transfer about 4MB's (2 files)....not sure but I may have messed up my NIC port on my shuttler (argh...)

 

[limqareb]

well at least , i have a sata samsung downsatirs and it is quite slow not extremely but it s not like the amd , neway 23mb per sec is the average transfer rate

 

[Dav0s]

accoring to what?

 

[SubTract]

cat5e cable although capable of using gigabit connection, kinks, relatively sharp bends, loops or coils in the cables can restrict bandwidth, the NICs in your PC's, Weather or not you have an efficient network. It could be a lot of things. I would suggest putting 2 computers next to the switch with short cat 6 cables and see what happens. that will eliminate Computer bandwidth and network traffic and leave it down to cabling.

Are you using a switch anywhere with multiple computers hooked up to it? A switch splits connections according to how many PCs you have, for example a gigabit switch with one computer will offer (theoretically 1gb, 99.9999% of the time you will never hit that) when a second RJ-45 is used it splits off to 500mbs each, and a third to 333mbs per computer.

If you do not have a physical separate switch outside your router the multiple RJ-45s on your router operates the same a switch. There are WAY to many factors as to why you will not get 1gb speeds.

You forgot to mention that it only splits depending on demand. so If there are 4 devices plugged in but only 2 are actually doing anything over the network you end up with a theoretical peak of 500mbs

Even though there are 4 plugged in, only 2 are acting.

Where as a hub would split depending on all devices connected and then broadcast everything to everyone.
