Folks, A minor question, possibly OT: for some reason I'm getting a very low network throughput between my laptop and my desktop machine. I just ran a test with netpipe-tcp, and the maximum speed is some 15Mbps. As I have a 3Com 905C in the desktop box and a 3Com 574 PCMCIA card on the laptop (both are 10/100 NICs) I would have expected a bit more speed here. Also, my laptop complains about dropped interrupts during the test, and a quick look with ifconfig shows that it is having buffer overruns. Is this related? Anyone got a clue as to what is going on and how I can boost my network performance?
