Lib 70 pathetic network speed
Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2001 12:43:08 - From: "Wright, Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Lib 70 pathetic network speed I have a lib 70 with a 3com megahertz 10/100 / 56k modem combo card. My desktop machine and libretto happily talk to each other at 10mb/s network speed via a crossover RJ45 cable (a little LED on the PCMCIA card shows me the selected speed), but any file copies are painfully slow. I tried to transfer a game that was 340 megs, and it took 93 minutes. Thats equivelant to a miniscule 60k/sec transfer rate! I would be expecting more like 1mb/sec. My desktop works much faster when paired with another desktop. Any ideas ?

I suspect its a software configuration issue rather than a hardware problemmaybe its because I'm running W95 OSR2 on one machine and W98 SE on the other. I've got a mate with a laptop who I'll be seeing at the weekend, so I'll get him to give my combo card a try. At least then I'll know the hardware is working ok. I got my card from The Computer Exchange, £85...not too bad for a combo I thought.

Lib backlight
Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2001 17:38:17 - From: "Wright, Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Lib backlight How do you tell if your backlight needs replacing ? Obviously if you can't see the display, this is a tell-tale sign, but if its your first libretto then you have nothing to compare against. I think mine might need replacing because the dark/bright panel settings in power management seem to make very little difference, indicating that the backlight is only producing enough illumination for the dark setting most of the time. How much for Tosh to fit a new backlight then ?

Ethernet card 10/100 speed select
Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2001 16:00:08 - From: "Wright, Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Ethernet card 10/100 speed select Is an RJ45 crossover cable insufficient to get 100mb/s speed ? I've noticed that when I hook two desktops or desktop + libretto (both supporting 100mb/s) via an RJ45 crossover it always auto selects 10mb/s speed, and there seems to be no way to change it. Any ideas ?

You pointed me in the right direction, but windows ME is a >little different than 98: >To disable Scandisk from running automatically after a bad shutdown, use one of the following >procedures: >On the toolbar click Start, click Run, type Msconfig, and then click OK.Click Advanced, and select the >Disable Scandisk after bad shutdown option.

SUCCESS!! This isn't really fixing the problem though is it ? You're just disabling scandisk altogether rather than finding out what is causing a bad shutdown.

If you're using an RJ45 crossover cable, swap the ends round. For some bizarre reason my libretto will only talk to my libretto with the cable round one way. then In TCP/IP properties make sure the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and that no gateway is being used. Set up static IP addresses instead of requesting dynamic ones from a server.
