Re: Slow network transfer within LAN

In news:eX5WIVJJHHA.4068@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
TC <travelclarkie@xxxxxxxxx> stated, which I commented on below:
Hello,

I am noticing; well I have always noticed with Windows that when you
need to drag and drop files between computers they always go slow.
We're talking 1-2% of a 100Mbs 100% switch LAN. It's getting annoying
and I was wondering what I can do to speed things up.

Transfers are between XP and XP and XP and 2003 just dragging and
dropping with in mapped and unmapped drives.

If I do FTP, HTTP, SSH, and other transfers on the Internet I can
saturate the Internet connection. When I use to run an FTP server on
the LAN I was able to reach 100% through put. Why can't I without the
FTP server. I want to avoid the FTP server on the LAN as I'd like to
just stick with my mapped drives.

Thanks,

TC

Try disabling SMB signing.

Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
It's easy:
