Yep, but a possibility is that the HME simply doesn't support these settings
(as in the way those apps try to set it).
Sidenote: I screwed that up - I meant to say UDP (should give you higher transfer rates)AFAIK the SS5 has ide disks, considering the age of the machine the ide bus is probably not the fastest. I'd try to generate data randomly without utilizing the hds and send that to another machine. Maybe catting urandom into a tcp listener on another machine....Nope, definitely SCSI. Copying a single large file over from the SS5 to theXP box and looking at the network traffic in task manager shows an almost perfectly flat line at 10% of the 100Mb/s adapter's available bandwidth, that's what made me think it was a negotiation problem.
Maybe these two are of help: http://supportforum.sun.com/network/index.php?t=msg&goto=570&rid=0 http://dbforums.com/t674555.html -Alex
