Hey guys, im currently having real bad slowdown in my home lan.
equipment is as follows:
-1 "8 port trendnet switch"(recently changed)
-7 machines connected to switch
-all pc's have a different nic cards, as most are internal ones
-all pc's different spec, ranging from p4 3.2, down to pm 1.5ghz laptop
My problem is with the p4 1.8 machine, which i should add is the machine that connects to the internet, all others are ics connected to that one machine.
Basically the machine cannot transfer files at a decent speed, network utilisation is only at ~20-30% max, whereas the other machines can transfer amongt themselves at ~75-90% all the time. But the main concern is that while transferring files using this internet connected machine, all ics clients will have severely slow internet, to a point where it cannot be used until the transfer is over.
I have changed nic settings to auto sense line speed, as this resolved an issue i had before where i couldnt get a different machine on the lan to transfer files at a half decent rate.
Id like to point out that the problem machine has p2p software running all the time, a software firewall, and apart from that, all else is the same.
