Has anyone heard of this?
I tried running this network tweak:

But I am still seeing a 12-16% average network useage when I look at it under the task manager while transferring large files over the local network. I have been thinking about switching to Gigabit because the network seems slow to me. But if I can actually eliminate this cap, then I may be happy with what I have. Here is the setup:
Fileserver: Windows 2000Pro, 100Mb NIC
100Mb 5 port switch
My PC: Onboard Gigabit NIC
I have tried setting it to be static 100MB full duplex on both machines and half duplex on both. I have tried the above tweak. Still I only get 12-16% utilization of my network. Is the Task manager just not reading right?
Anyone have any ideas on tweaking networks to get a little better speed out of them. I am willing to give just about any suggestion a shot.
