Hi.

I am very frustrated. It seems as though i can not transfer faster then
3.0mb/s on my LAN. I have two windows xp pro machines and a netgear
rp114 router. When I copy over any size file (usually around 1 or 2 gig
folders) the transfer speed caps at 3mb/s. In theory should I not be
able to transfer at speeds of 100 mbps?

ideas? much appreciated!

To measure the STR, copy a large single file rather than a folder full
of little files, to alleviate the per-file overhead.  And, make sure the
single file is big enough that you can measure copy time with a watch
to calculate STR; some software-reported STRs are out to lunch.

You won't get 100 Mb/s, but 3 Mb/s per horrible.  With decent XP PCs at
each end of my 100 Mb/s LAN (with a Linksys switchrouter in the middle),
I get >75 Mb/s.
