It was thus said that the Great Chuck Guzis once stated:
Well, here's why I asked.
The system sitting off of the second hub seems to get about 10% lower
throughput (same O/S, same NIC) off the 'net than any system sitting
off the first hub (all much slower systems).
Could the second hub and the translation/turnaround over the coax
link between the two be the culprit?
Just trying to figure out why a 2 GHz box is getting consistently
beaten by a 225 MHz one.
Did you try putting the 2GHz system on the first hub?
Other problems including speed and duplex mismatches between the 2GHz
system and the hub it's plugged into (I've run into that problem a few times
at work) or perhaps a marginal cable (between the computer and hub, or hub
to hub).
