doing this over a 10mbs half duplex network will give lots of collisions
(a half duplex network uses one set of wires to communicate both ways -
hence you get collisions as both machines try to talk at the same time.
Also the smb protocal isn't very efficient so a long time like this
is
A 100BaseT network running full-duplex can theoretically pass about 12.5
Mbyte/sec. Allowing for real world, if your 2 Win2k boxes are
running 100BaseT to the hub, a 100Megabyte transfer between them
should take roughly about 15 seconds.
If the network is a 10BaseT network then figure 150 seconds
