Hi everyone,
I give technical support to an organization that can't afford someone who's qualified
we have two separate networks that can cross over through either a linux firewall PC with 2 Realtek Adapters,
or a PC running win2k server.
we measured how long it takes to copy 20MB from a server to a workstation on net A and scored ~ 4 seconds.
we saw the same results on multiple workstations.
we then tried to copy from the same server on net A to a workstation on net B and through both routers it took > 40 seconds.
I it's route is just server -> router -> workstation with a 16 Port Surecom switch on every "->".
* I then copied the file to the router (server -> router) which was fast.
** and then (router->workstation) which was even faster.
unless I'm missing something, * and ** rule out a faulty infrastructure.
what else should I try ?
are the router PCs to blame ?
what can be done ?
is there any information I left out that might be relevant?
About 150 people thank you for your advice.
