    Gigabit network SLOW file transfer


    Hi everyone,

    I've got a little networking problem and hope someone can help...

    I have a Dell XPS 15Z with gigabit ethernet port, have dgs 1005d gigabit switch and WDTV live hub also with gigabit "capability"... The network cables should be fine...

    The issue is that the file transfer (these are usually HD movies) from my laptop to WDTV are rather slow having in mind it's a gigabit network connection... The speed tops 15 MB/s. Same thing if I connect WDTV directly with my laptop. Any advice?

    The switch indicates (green light) it has set-up a gigabit connection both with WDTV and my laptop.

    I have disabled autotuning, RDC, AV software etc. Tried with jumbo frames, disabling flow control - EVERYTHING

    I'm pretty desperate, so if someone out here could help, I would appreciate it...

    Thanks

    Welcome to SF,

    From your computer's Device Manager, locate the Network Adapter, Advanced Tab then find Link Speed and Duplex, change the setting here from Auto Detect to Auto negotiate 1000mbps, see if that helps.

    Thanks for the tip. Auto negotiation is turned on. I don't have an option to connect @ 1gbps half/full duplex. But it seems to connect @ 1gbps since the switch indicates so and the connection screen also..
