Hello,
I have another question for this list. I have two computers connected,
this Linux 2.2.10 box and a Win95 thing via two identical 10/100Mbps Lynksys
cards (the linux is using the tulip driver from the manufacturer's web site).
I've connected them together using a cross-over cable (it used to be a
straight through cable that I crossed over). I know I should have a hub but I
don't have money for a 100Mpbs hub at the time.
I tested the speed of the link by using Netscape to download a file from
the Linux machine (running Apache) to the Win95 machine (The file was the X11
directory tarred) and the speed of the link peaked at 1.6M/s.
Is this the expected throuput for such a configuration? Would I benefit
from having the computers connected to a hub? Or even from buying a
premanufactured cross-over cable?
Any suggestions welcomed :)
Thanks,
--Erico.
Please keep your hands off the secretary's reproducing equipment.
