| | I have two computers on the same router. My Comcast advertise a max of 6 mbps. On testing one of my computers I get 5.5 mbps. On my other computer I only get 4.6 mbps. I am using the on board NICs for both computers. I got these numbers based on several runs on several days.
One motherboard is Asus P4T533-c with a built-in Intel pro-100 ve NIC. (5.5 mbps)
The other motherboard is GA-8IHXP 3.0 with a built-in Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC. (4.6 mbps)
Does anyone have any idea why one computer is faster than the other? I used nyc.speakeasy.net to test the computers. The faster computer is connected to a 50 ft cat 6 cable to the routher. If anything I would think the computer running with a 3 ft cable should be faster. Something has changed, but I don't have a clue to what. I am pretty sure the speeds us to be equal.
Any ideas? Could upgrading the router flash cause a problem?
Any software to fully test the NICs?
Best regards,

You're right, the longer the cable, the longer it takes for the data to get there. The NICs use different chipsets, so that has a processing factor. The computers aren't identical, so there is that factor. The quality of the cables may even factor in some, the distance can factor in, EMI can factor in, etc. Depending on hardware configuration and the negotiation of each NIC, the best you could do is set both NICs to 100/full duplex in the NIC properties, then run the test. That will tell you the best possible performance you'll get from either NIC. Just because they're both 10/100 NICs doesn't mean they both operate at the same level. kservice

Humm... so let's see, andrescasta signs off but the forum name is kservice. And kservice replies to the reply supposedly towards andrescasta. Upon further examination, andrescasta and kservice share the same IP. So my questions are why have you cheated TRAP17 and who's account should be terminated?

Connecting Two Computers With A Crossover Cable
Got the basics, anything I'm missing? (7) I was going to connect two computers together with a crossover cable to share files, and maybe even
play a few multiplayer games over it. In my understanding I need a cat5 crossover cable, correct me
if I'm wrong here. Both computers need to have a network card. After I hook up the computers I
need to set each computers IP. (I'm not to sure on how to do that) Then I need to make sure the
computers can "talk" to each other. From what I've read that's all I need to do. Anything

Router Is Acting Weird

to the network after that I get an error message saying something like my PC cant get a network

Slow Connection With Linksys Wrt54g Router
working fine until few months ago (8) Hey there everybody! I need some help. Here's the problem. I have a Linksys Wireless WRT54G
v5 router, which, I think, is acting up. First of all, I can't get port forwarding to work!
About three month ago my port forwarding was working flawlessly, I could use download clients like
DC++, or BitComet, or have an ftp server running, etc... Now, whichever ports I use, nothing seems
to work. Plus, in clients like DC++ where you're connected to several hubs, the connection to
the hubs is constantly dropped. On top of that, the joke's on me actually....
Wrt54g V5 Loses Connection
Linksys Router (2) I have a WRT54G v5 router and ADSL with PPPoE and I'm experiencing problems with the router
dropping the Default gateway periodically. After browsing this forum for similar problems and
hopefully solutions with no luck on the solution part I decided to chat with Linksys. The guy I
chatted with suggested that I should try changing the router's IP address to 192.168.2.1 instead
of 192.168.50.1 which I had set it to before. In my ears the tip sounded like rubbish, but I gave it
a try and it actually seems to be working. A sufficient amount of time hasn't passe....
What Is Your Prefered Wireless Router?

afraid another Linksys product might cause the same problem. However, as Linksys is part of Cisco, I
feel a certain sense of sercurity in Linksys products. I'm not sure which brands I should get.
This poll might give alot of help to me and also please leave comments and suggestions so....
