Ah right. I did not know that!
Yeah, its a hub. I'll stop trying to set it to full duplex now. I still
have a problem though, the collision rate is 11-12% when copying to the
client and the performance is terrible:
Copying from Server to Client (i.e. receive) 170.3Kb/sec
Copying from Client to Server (i.e. transmit) 7.383Mb/sec
It is 40 times quicker in one direction than the other. Can you give me
a hint where to go from here.
Some hubs don't like having different sets of ports and it's a repeater,
not an 'intelligent' routing system. If you're going to try and set the
cards to FD you may want to try disconnecting them all and connecting
them all one at a time once you have forced the card to FD.
Admitidly, I don't know why it would be faster one way than the other.
I'm wondering if that's a cable issue (partially damaged cable causing a
small capacitance effect). Do you get the same effect when you swap the
cables over?
