need advice on fixing my home lan
I have a small LAN in my home. I need some advice on tuning it.
I've started working on a project wherein I move large files (>3GB)
between two Debian boxes. This is a slow process. I would like to be
sure that it goes as fast as is reasonable. I think all my LAN cards
are claimed by their makers to be 10/100, but for some this might be
marketing hype. All my cables are 'CAT5'. So, some questions:
How do I determine whether my lan is passing data at 10 or 100 MHz?
If I find it is 10MHz, what can I do to find which hardware needs
upgrading to make it work at 100MHz?
Are there software diagnostic tools that would help me with this?
Package names?
