    Why is A to B faster than B to A on a WIRED network?

    I added the DisableTaskOffload seeting on a few PCs and it did not solve the main issue I have with my wired computers...still have the scenario where - On my vista machine (the master browser one), I can instally get to any other XP pc regardless of how I connect to them (ie Start/Network...

    Why is A to B faster than B to A on a WIRED network?

    According to this link, enabling the offloading 1) can improve system performance by offloading tasks to the NIC....so this sounds likes its NOT a network performance tweak, but more of a system CPU tweak.....so per orignal post, I woiuld think my issue is more network related than system...

    Why is A to B faster than B to A on a WIRED network?

    Reality check Well, I still have the issue descrribed in the original post, so I am down to two last steps to try"\: 1) On the XP machines, add the DisableTaskOffload ( to 0 or 1 ?? ).... although I dont think this will address the 10 second delay issue. 2) Try to set up Link Layer...

    DIR-655: Wireless setup question

    Correct but Link Layer Topology Discovery was not included in the Win XP SP3 upgrade. There is a apprantly backdoor workaround for this, here; I tried it, but it didnt help.Will try again. Anyway, not the end of the world - its jsut a map.

    On my Vista machine DisableTaskOffload already exists and says 255. Are you saying change it to 0 or 1 or leave it alone? The XP machines that I checked did not have the entry.

    Why is A to B faster than B to A on a WIRED network?

    OK, so for 10/100, are these throughputs typical or slow? Ran with WSPingPro Something may be questionable here as I get identical results on any computer I run this on. 50 packets (packet Size= 1024) 54576 bytes in 50 ms. throughput: 16.38 megabits/sec average:8.73 megabits/sec...

    RT314 as a switch

    jdabbs, thanks for the spoon feeding here.... and now that I followed each step as outlined, it of course got me in! First prompt was password - only took 15 tries ( I had set it almost 8years ago). After that it was menu driven and straighforward - even for me! DCHP was not enabled, and...

    RT314 as a switch

    You want me to type that in a command line?? I assume no! I checked the link - not sure want to type when it asks me to connect, but I do get to the COM1 screen (sometimes) and then a blank hyperterminal screen. After that the keyboard does not respond (wrong emulation I guess). If I type...
