What NIC do you use in your win-box ?
My computers...
Server:
CPU: Pentium 133
MEM: 192 MB
OS: NetBSD-1.5.2
NIC: RealTek 100Mbit (rtk-driver)
Client:
CPU: AMD Athlon/T-bird 800
MEM: 512 MB
OS: Windows XP
NIC: Intel Pro/100+ (fxp-driver)
In my case I beleve the speedlimiter is the RealTek NIC because RealTek
based NIC's aren't that good. But when transfering two files at the same
time I recall some speed increase. .
