I have 2 pc's with 2 10/100 Mb/s Nics's installed, they are linked with a cat5 crossover cable and both pc's are running Winxp. If I set the Link speed/Duplex mode to 100 full, data transfered between the pc's slows down yet if I swap the 'Link speed/Duplex mode' to 10full everything seems to speed up, any ideas how I can get max network speed using 100 full

Summary: Last question first: compression does slow reading as well as writing. Network speed: keep in mind that a 100 mbit hub actually has a theoretical maximum speed of 100/8 = 12.5 megabytes/sec. One mega...
