1. What speed do you get when transferring a small amount
of data? ie; less than 1 MB. Maybe the file system and
caching required to move that much all in one fell swoop
is choking and it's not the network.
2. I've had terrible results when attempting to enable
full duplex....don't use it! 100Mbit ethernet should move
appx 8MB per second, not Mbits, MegaBytes. 1GB Should take
2 to 3 hours.
3. Did you make the crossover cable? Make sure to keep the
twisted pairs together, it's not just a matter of matching
pins 1,2,3,6 to 3,6,1,2. Keep the pair 1&2 twisted
together connecting to 3&6 on the other side. Do you not
have a hub? This SHOULD work, done it myself when I just
don't have a hub. Also make sure you are using CAT-5
cable. CAT-3 does not support 100mbit. It will say on the
cable.
