Hi-
I'm having a very strange problem with FTP uploads from my XP Professional box. First, here's the hardware:
Motherboard: Gigabyte 8IHXP/P4-2.26/512 MB/RAID-0
Network: RealTek 8139 chip (on motherboard), LinkSys 4-port fast ethernet router/switch.
(All NICs are set to 100/Full)
Whenever my XP box is acting as a client on my LAN, I get speedy downloads, and slow uploads. For downloads, I can get up around 8-10 meg/s transfers, uploads seem capped at 800k/s. I have tried multiple FTP clients connecting to both another XP box and an iBook. It's always the same, fast downloads, slow uploads.
Now, what's really strange is that if I run an FTP server on my XP box and connect to it from one of the other machines, they can download and upload at full speed. So even though the data is going in the same direction when downloading, speeds are what they should be.
I am completely baffled by this issue. I have tried different network cables, updated RealTek drivers, multiple settings in XP, etc. The only thing I haven't tried is disabling the on-board NIC and using a seperate PCI NIC.
Does anyone have any ideas?
