Speed of my dreams...

I´m still far away from that speed. But to be honest, I start to believe that
´s it´s not (only) a problem of the driver. Yesterday, I tried the connection 
between Win2K and Win XP - and in fact, it was slower that the link between 
two linux machines. And that with the original Netgear drivers for the cards!

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).

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!
