Can't get 100Mb in PCI
I am running XP Professional without SP2. I can not get a network card to
run at 100Mb if it's plugged into a PCI slot. If I hard set it to 100Mb, it disables itself. It will only work in AutoSense mode. In that mode it will run considerably slower than 100MB. The on-board network card runs fine at 100Mb. I have already tried 2 different PCI cards. |

What brand/model NIC? brand/model Motherboard?
are you using any particular tool to measure speed? -- Dana Brash MCSE, MCDBA, MCSA "DarrylF" wrote in message ... I am running XP Professional without SP2.

Can't get 100Mb in PCI
Both network cards were Linksys. One was NC100, the other is LNE100TX. The
PC involved is HP d530. The data being transferred is 7MB - 18MB radiological images. The difference in speed can be seen in the overall image transfer rate (2 seconds vs. 2 minutes).

I wonder how far I would have counted already if I had counted all messages in this newsgroups from users complaining about network problems with Linksys equipment. Have you tried updating the drivers to the latest version? That may help. Can you try any other brand of network adapter, at least for a test? Hans-Georg -- No mail, please. |

I seem to have the latest posted version of drivers. I will try to locate a
different brand of card at my facility. "Hans-Georg Michna" wrote: On Mon, 18 Oct 2004 07:15:02 -0700, "DarrylF" wrote: Both network cards were Linksys. Darryl, Linksys again!
