slow Network copying >12mbs

we are seeing painfully slow network copies from our windows home server too both windows 7 machines they are duplicate hardware for the 7 machines

server dual zeon 2.0ghz 4 gig ram
dual-port intel gig card teamed

Network switch 3com superstack 3 10/100 24 port layer 3

computer is

Amd 64 3200+ 2.0 GHZ
1.25 gigs of ram
32 bit os installed

windows 7 build 7600
NIC Reatek RTL8169/8110 gig GBE

average copy speed traverling 12 feet of cable and 1 switch is 7-12mbs

whats changed? check the event viewer on the PC's and the server. what was the earlier tranfer speed?

12mb/s is almost the maximum for 100mbit network.

You could hardly do any better.

1 byte is 8 bits.

100 megabit /8 = 12.5 megabyte

forgot to mention this is a virgin install as of 12 am last night

ipv6 have been killed lol

what exactly am i looking for in the event viewer

Nothing.

Read my post.

PS. upgrade to gigabit lan will get you 50 to 70mb/s, but you'll need gigabit cards and gigabit switch.

interesting i have gigabit gards in all the machines and i use to see great speed with xp and teh switch most time it was 30-40

so i am gonna have to dig up 2 gig switches

Isn't convention

100MB=100 megabyte

100Mb=100 megabit?

Net speeds are always mentioned in bits.

Regular card is 100 megabit = 12.5 megabytes.
Gigabit cards is 1000 megabit = 125 megabytes.

All theoretical of course, because you'll never reach those speeds.
In that light 12mb/s average is a wonderful score.

If net speeds are in bits why is he only getting 7-12 megabit from 100megabit switch?

average copy speed traverling 12 feet of cable and 1 switch is 7-12mbs

Isn't there another thread here where Realtek NICs are causing problems? They seem to be zeroing in on a driver problem...

Network card - Ethernet not plugged in
