Hi guys, you all seem to be really knowledgable about networking related stuff so i figured i'd ask here. I want to increase the performance for transfering files across the network because its so slow now. I think the fastest computer transfers at about 40MB/s but all the rest top out around 13MB/s.
I have a d-link DGS-2208 switch with all computers connecting to it. I have disabled TCP/IP 6 on the computers, and set the speed & duplex to 1.0Gbps full duplex becuase i have heard that would help. Supposedly the switch does jumbo frames as well but i can't seem to get that to work, its seems much slower. Also another problem that i have read about is that the switch defaults to 100Mb if there is such device on the network, well my 360 and the modem that verizon provided both run at 100Mb only. All the network cable in the house is good quality cat5e cable as well.
Should i look at replacing the switch with something that will run at full gigabit speeds regardless of other devices attached? I would like one that is 16 ports as well because the 8 on that are filled as it is and i want to get a dual NIC card for my home server. Hope this makes sense, go ahead and ask anything else if you need it.
