Network Speed Problems (Win7x64)
Been trying to track down some networking problems for a while now, and I'm starting to wonder if they are windows related. I have a gigabit network running through a cisco 3750. I have a windows 7x64 box that I can't get seem to get sustained throughput. I'm attempting transfers from this computer to an OpenSolaris NAS on my network. This NAS is running an IntelPro Gigabit adapter which is connected via the 3750 as well.
I initially thought the problems were related to the opensolaris box, but I'm starting to wonder if they are windows related. I tried updating the driver of my onboard realtek driver on the windows 7 box, but it didn't make a difference. The downloads often start real fast and then slow to about 5-10MB/s as shown in windows explorer. The file I'm attempting to transfer is a 1.2GB mkv file. Transfer is from a striped 2 disk array on the windows box to the solaris box. In task manager, my network connection spikes to about 10MB/s and drops to nothing. There is no sustained transfer.
Any ideas of what to look at? I'm pretty good in networking, but more on the infrastructure side as opposed to the client side. Thanks!
