Hi, I have two notebooks connected using a straight cable (Fast
ethernet LAN boards). Both notebooks with Windows XP.

When I copy 1 Gbps size file from notebook 1 to notebook 2, I see
the network usage like 85% till 88%. If, at this moment, I copy
another more one file, the trhoughput goes to 99%.

When I copy the same file (1 Gbps size), but with Linux, the
network usage goes to 99%.

Why don´t Windows uses all network, when I copy 1 file ???



A lot depends on how you are copying the files. Windows Networking is
quite a bit slower than FTP for transferring files, for example. With
Windows Networking, it also makes a difference in speed as to whether
you are pushing the data or pulling it. It could be that periodically
the transfer has to stop while more disk space is allocated on the
receiving end.

HTH,
John
