I did not know that! Yeah, its a hub. I'll stop trying to set it to full duplex now. I still have a problem though, the collision rate is 11-12% when copying to the client and the performance is terrible: Copying from Server to Client (i.e. receive) 170.3Kb/sec Copying from Client to Server (i.e. transmit) 7.383Mb/sec It is 40 times quicker in one direction than the other. Can you give me a hint where to go from here. Cheers, Dave. kashani wrote: > Dave Oxley wrote: > >> Hi Mark, >> >> Thanks for the reply.
