We have a network of 5 Macs at work.
2x PowerMac G4 Sawtooth 500Mhz / 768MB
1x PowerMac G4 Mirror Door 1Ghz / 768MB
1x PowerMac G4 Mirror Door 1.25Ghz /1GB
1x iMac G3 600Mhz / 768MB
1x iBook G3 500Mhz / 384MB
All of the machines are running 10.3.9. We are all connected via one basic
10/100 Ethernet Hub. On this network we also have a Snap Ethernet 250GB hard
drive and Magicolour printer.
The Snap drive is only half full but accessing it is painfully slow.
Also if one person accesses it, it drags the whole network down.
Is this a problem with our hub? Can anyone suggest what we can do
to help this situation?
Verify that the Macs and the Snap are actually talking at 100 Mbps, not 10.
I strongly recommend replacing the hub with a decent quality switch.
