    Question Networking/LAN Speed-Up

    I can't remember what I need to do to speed up my home LAN/Network.

    TCP/IP, NetBios, NetBEUI, and IPX protocol's are active.

    I just can't remember what the optimum setting is to take advantage of the 100M speed in the house, and still access the DSL modem cleanly.

    I hate it when the brain stops. =)

    Abandon IPX. Use Netbuei for in house and TCP/IP to communiccate with the outside world.

    Thumbs down

    Thanks for that tip, of course now transferring files between machines in the 'house' is a tad slower than snot drying.

    I don't remember the settings, but in the beginning a friend and I had it so I can transfer the equivelent of a full CD-ROM through the LAN to another machine in a very short time.

    Are you sure that your machines are connecting to each other at full speed? Just a thought.

    There seems to be something wrong with my keyboard. I can't find the "any" key!
