Strange problems afoot in casa de Bill tonight. Amy has a Windows machine (celeron 300, abit bh6, netgear fa310tx). I have a PPro 200 box running RH7 with an Intel EEPro100 10/100 ethernet card (PCI).

Both connected via 100baseT-full-duplex to a NetGear (bay networks) FS108 8-port 100baseT switch.

Both systems forced to 100BT full duplex.

When she sends files to me, its 12-15K/sec. When I send files to her, 115K+/sec (at 10bT)

I tried a 10base-T PCI-bus DEC Tulip-chipset-based ethernet card in the linux box. Same problem.

I hope its not the switch, I cant afford a new switch. however, both of us can download from the net off the ADSL (also plugged into the switch, at 10baseT half duplex) at 150K/sec+.

Strange.

Any ideas?
