Slow File transfers

[keykent]

When transfering any files from my windows xp pc to the receptor 2 pro, the throughput I get is only about 2 Megabits/sec. Notice I said bits, not even bytes. This with a Fast Ethernet link using the Receptor Remote Control V 1.3 and 1.8 Receptor OS. Anybody know how to speed this up? Is windows or the receptor the bottleneck?

Keykent,

Do you connect Receptor in crossover, or Auto DHCP through a router?

It's through a layer 2 switch with manually configured IP addresses. The switch is not the bottleneck, I can get full 100 megagbit speed through it.

With a Receptor 2 Pro, shouldn't that be 1 Gigbits "speed" (i.e. transfer rate)?

My switch is a fast Enet switch with a 100 megabit/sec limit, so that is all I can get out of it when not using the receptor. If you have a gigabit enet on both sides without a switch, I would expect the Hard drives to be the bottleneck, which have a sustained speed below the the 1 gigbit Ethernet bandwidth. But as I said I'm getting about 2 megabits/sec average right now, which suggests something is perhaps misconfigured.

A 100 megabit switch should provide about 12 megabytes per second throughput, (realistically, not theoretically) so you should be seeing much more than 2 Megabits/sec (which I believe is your point). However, my post was in response to Kevin's "full 100 megabit speed". I was wondering if he meant "full" in terms of the switch or the Receptor.
