What's your wireless file transfering speed?

Hi, i have a 802.11b setup running at 11mbps. but the file transfering rate is at 100kb/s max, that is way too slow for its spec. I just wondering what's the speed that everyone's getting? is my speed normal?
 
the maximum speed i have ever gotten was transfering files to my roomates computer via AOL IM. about 280kbps. the max rate i have seen with dsl is about 150kbps
 
Well, do you mean between computers on the same network or from anywhere else off of the internet that's not connected to your wireless router / access point? Those on the same local network will have faster speeds than on the internet since they're not actually transferring via the internet.

If you ARE talking about via the internet, it all depends on what type of internet connection you have backing it up. At home I have cable and the max I've hit is like 420KB/sec steady... here at college we have a T3 and I can get in excess of 1MB/sec.....
 
500-600KB/sec with 802.11b, be sure to enable IP filtering on your access point, when I did it on my Linksys transfer speeds increased from 5x!
 
Elbirth, I was talking about the transfer between the computers on the same LAN.
Stealth1024, What kind of IP filtering are you talking about? In my router (Siemens SpeedStream 2623) it only have the IP filtering that decides to either block certain range of IP and their ports for certion time, or to block them forever. There's something called MAC filtering though, which allows only the MAC address listed.
