Hi Guys
I am running a small LAN here and it consists of 3 PC's. They are all connected via an 8 port 100Mbps switch. I wanted to test the speed of the network so I transferred a 700MB from one Pc to another with the use of FTP software. I found that I am never able to transfer at the full 100 Mbps / 12.5MBs as I thought it would.
I have come to the conclusion that its not the following:
Would the speed of my PC's be what's causing the data not to be transfered at full speed?
Also are there networking utilities out there that once installed will return crucial data back to me for example.... transfer rates of the files that are passing through my network as I no longer wish to use FTP software as this could also be the bottleneck in regards to my problem.
Thanx Guys.... :thumb:

I have come to the conclusion that its not the following:
- NIC's that I'm using on all 3 PC's as they are all 100/10Mbps cards.
- It's not my switch as its a 100Mbps switch.
- All the UDP cabling is fine.
