So one PC is connected to the socket that goes to the router, and the other is to the other socket.

I've got a popular router (Linksys BEFSX41) and the house is wired by myself using CAT5 + Belkin boxes.

The problem is I try to transfer files from one PC to another and I get a maximum speed of around 500 kb/sec. I know this is the speed as I tried it out using a light web server. This is actually seems faster than using explorer to copy.

Both PCs have their NICs enabled with full duplex 100 BaseT. The router is also 100 baseT. I can't imagine my wiring would bring the speed down, and the router has all its firewall options turned off and both PCs have their firewalls switched off (not normally, but for the speed tests).

I would expect to be copying files on a 100 mbit network at atleast 1 megabytes a second, but as there's no congestion I can't see why it wouldn't be 10 meg.

Has anyone got any suggestions on what the problem could be? Could my amateur wiring be to blame?! As far as I know if the network is badly wired it just won't get any connection rather than slowing it down. I know some of the faceplates are a bit loose from DIY work that's happened around them.

Thanks

Is this what it is sending to IE:

Because I don't think "**UnReg**" is valid HTTP



Sorry I should've mentioned, the unreg is added by ether detect as it's unregistered.

I got out the old packet sniffer and discovered that IE7 doesn't actually respond to the authentication header it gets sent back:

HTTP/1**UnReg**authorized
Content-Length: 1656
Content-Type: text/html
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate
WWW-Authenticate: NTLM
WWW-Authenticate: Digest qop="auth",algorithm=MD5-sess,nonce="b17fbc9d519fc601a0d32aaa756f038f4de198e74354a9eedebece9093aa565210da5653a1d933f2",charset=utf-8,realm="Digest"
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Date: Tue, 04 Jul 2006 10:07:11 GMT

And so IE7 just says it can't find the server (I think it's being creative with the truth).

Also since I installed, my valued Photoshop 6 now hangs at startup.

Why don't you just uninstall you winging pom, I hear you cry! Well, I tried this, restarted the machine (no errors or anything) and was left with an IE6 that was broken, continously complaining about a preview.dlg. I tried a restore point but for some reason the restore point system still gives me IE7.

Help! Any suggestions? Can I force IE6 back over the top without having to do a complete re-install?

I like the company however Microsoft has made some real blunders in the past and I thought why not make a thread dedicated to these blunders and successes. Great idea on a MS techie site! Simple, list the stuff you like, stuff you dislike. No reasons required.Here's a few to start off:

Things I like
SQL Server
MSDN
Visual Studio
C#/.NET
MSN Messenger
Terminal Services/RDP

Things I dislike
Setting the IE homepage to msn.com
Tying Media Player in with msn.com
Indexing service
MMC
COM
MSN
Exchange server

Another archaic example that comes to mind is MMC. What a bucket of (I need to watch my language) that is, extremely convoluted API and doesn't save any of your windows settings unless you launch it with a command line switch. Sadly the MS world seems to be rife with these legacy technologies such as active-x, vb6 that would embarass me if I were working there.

During that time, Explorer (.exe) freezes. Windows has been like this since 2000 and it's one the most annoying parts of Windows I know (along with IE corrupting after you've uninstalled IE7).

Does anyone know if this is planned to be sped up or fixed in Vista? Asynchronised perhaps?
