Subject: gigabit ethernet question
I have two computers sitting right next to each other connected via a 6
foot long piece of cat 5 I picked up at Wally World one day. They both
have gigabit ethernet cards in them. Both machines recognize the
connection as a gigabit connection, but I'm lucky to get half that.
Most of the time I get around 40%.

Is there anything I can do to get the connection to work a bit faster?

thanks
