I have my two computers connected to internet via wireless 54Mbps. I also have two computers connected together to a switch via ethernet 100Mbps. I ALSO have the two computers connected directly via firewire for 400Mbps which I have used many times for large file transfers, works very well.
However, I just wiped out and reloaded my server and have all 3 connections up and running, but it is only using the wireless connection to transfer data over to the other computer which is taking forever. Why is it picking the slowest connection, and why does it not pick the optimal and fastest line? Is there a way I can keep all 3 enabled but tell it to use wireless for internet, and firewire for LAN?
I have netbios enabled on all 3, so each computer can see the other in network places no problem. Both machines have a shared HD. I cannot figure this out.
Any help is great. Thanks!
