[tweety_bird_bunny]

i connected my laptop n pc with cross over cable and xp pro sp1 on both pcs....the connection was successful,, and i can share files....but the speed was very very slow....like for 2mb file it took 1-1.5 minutes to copy......
is this the max speed that i can get over such a connection....
plz tell me if there can b any tweak or suggestion for improvement...

Go to Control Panel -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager. Select your LAN card and right click, then click on properties. Go to Advanced tab. Select the "Link Speed/Duplex Mode" Property and change its value from auto mode to "10Mbps Full Duplex mode". Click ok, exit and restart machine.

thanks krish, I am going to try that. I once copied around 4 gb of files from one sys to another with ftp on the same lan. took me 14 hours. I should have used this.

Well, you have to change it to 10MBps and not 100MBps.. give it a try.. With 100MBps the speed drops a lot.

Try using IP messenger. A great tool which will speed up the transfer rate. Worth a try, only ~100KB
