Full Duplex slower than Half Duplex?

Anyone ever seen this scenario before? I've checked my cables. I've changed various NIC settings, etc.

But no matter what, I get the most reliable connection (no packet loss) and fastest connection when my NICs are set to half duplex.

I'm thinking this is because of my switch. It is a generic ...

Earthlink Caps

Well I haven't been here in a while cuz I've got everything worked out, but I just realized that EL raised caps to 3000/384 in my area (standard now? it says this on the general EL cable page) versus the old 2000/384.

It shows too :p

Tweaking for multiple connection types

I am just wondering about this. On my laptop I have a wireless card (802.11b) and I was wondering what is the best way to tweak for the various connection types that I use.

indexing is NOT a new feature to NTFS, it is an operating system feature brought about by MS Office 97 and therefore can be found on Windows 95 if Office 97 is used.

It was later melded into 98SE, 2k, and XP by default whether or not you use Office.

There is a drawback in that it can be more expensive equipment, and you would still need a router to share internet among systems (or ICS), however without a need for Cat5 cable and cable runs through walls (if you want/need that in the first place; I didn't), that might make up for cost of ...

RS-232 serial
The serial port is slower than the parallel port...RS232 or not, its slower.

An ECP type parallel port can achieve a high enough transfer rate for 128k ISDN.


In any case, using the parallel or serial ports is CPU intensive and bogs down the system as data transfer rate increases.

You could hook up the modem to the hub, and then hook up both computers to the hub. However, with this method you need 2 IP addresses from your ISP and if you use File Sharing it is completely exposed to the internet. Most IPs charge for extra IP addresses.

Access could be disabled through the router, yes.

You could disable DNS services at the machine too, but they could still access some sites via raw IP address. Don't do this if resources on the network need DNS though.

Or you could upgrade to XP Pro for the remote desktop options.

That option works well because unlike VNC it is natively integrated into the shell and can even route your systems sound to the local computer.

Of course this is probably the most expensive of all options.
