Yesterday, I tried the connection between Win2K and Win XP - and in fact, it was slower that the link between two linux machines.

I´ve brought my 64bit PC today at workplace ant I´m going to install debian or fc4 on it and upgrade the kernel then - which is the goal. After that I´ll try the connection again and report what happened, including all open questions that you sent me (answering them before updatng the kernel seems quite useless). > Easily more than 100Mbps with my pii class test machines. Slowly, I begin to believe that the network here doesn´t like me and all my knowledge concering the issue is equal to zero... ;) But I´m very happy that you take the time to help me - it´s not self-evident to me!
