I am running a LAN with 7 PC's. 6 are Windows XP Home and one is Pro.
The Pro computer holds a data folder that all the other computers access with a billing program that is a developers version based on Microsoft Acess.
I have Cat 5 cable running to each through a 10/100 switch.
The write function of the "remote pc's" are much slower than when one does the same function on the Pro computer that holds the data.
I have read on the forum that changing the settings on the network adapter card to force full duplex at 100mbs will speed up the process.
There are other settings on the adapters such "receive buffer" and transmit settings. Will increasing the number on these settings increase the speed of the write and read funtions on the network? What can I do to speed up the network the best.
Thanks all
