Parttime presented the following explanation :
I have two WIN2000 PC's that share the same access point (linksys router). I have enabled file and printer sharing and that all works. PC-B finds PC-A in Computers Near Me, and I signon using the password I have setup. I want to copy a large number of files from PC-A to PC-B using the Windows Explorer (file manager), then delete the files from PC-A.
My connection is stable, but how reliable is this type of data transfer? Can I loose bits/bytes without knowing? Is there a crc/checksum in place to ensure the accuracy of the data? Do I need to run a file compare to be sure?
I had to install; Client for Microsoft Networks, File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks, Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), NetBEUI, and IPx/SPx to enable sharing. I understand that tcp/ip ensures packet accuracy but I do not know what protocol windows 2000 is using when the file manager is used.
Thanks for you time.
Cheers, Jim
it's just as reliable as a wired network cause it has all the features of any other network but...
you have to consider the fact that the connection will break down much easier thus
copying over large files witch takes a long time
will have a greater chance of failing due to lost connections
it doesn't mean that it will but keep it in mind
your luck is that you have only 2 clients on the network
the more clients there are, the bigger the risk and the smaller the usable bandwidth
it is a shared medium after all
