I just read something today or yesterday talking about testing gigabit speeds and they were saying that you really needed 64-bit PCI adapters and a good router to achieve higher speeds. I can not remember where I read that though. Sorry. Bobby -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What are the fast hard drives at these days for sustained reads? 40 MB/s? 40MB x 8 = 320 mb/s So there is a bottle neck right there for how fast your computer can read things into the network. Then there is the bottle neck on the other side with the other computer writing. When the computer is

7MB on FTP sounds a little low, but not a lot. Max would be 12.5MByte/sec, and normal max would be about 11MByte/sec. Heck, I can get 8.5MBytes/sec going through our 100Mbit Linux router (4 port). Over GigaBit (HP Switches, I am getting 12-14MByte/sec using SCP, and a copy over NFS is even

Our network is shit, though. Cat5e cabling, but to Linksys Gigabit switches, and likely a lot of stupid broadcast crap. Harry McGregor wrote: 7MB on FTP sounds a little low, but not a lot. Max would be 12.5MByte/sec, and normal max would be about 11MByte/sec.

Some phones are locked to not allow file transfers over Bluetooth. I believe that my Sony T-610 won't let me, which is why I use it's IR interface instead. Bill wrote: Anybody have any experience with nasty little devils? I thought setup should be a 30 second snap... Setting up this tiny
