I've got slow ethernet communication between two computers connected by hub... what should I do?

Configure the network adapters on both the PCs in Half Duplex mode and verify if this resolves the issue. This can be done as follows: -\nStep 1: Go to Start> Control Panel > and select Network connections.\n\nStep 2: Right click on your network card (for 2000 and XP only)and select Properties.\n\nStep 3: Select the Configure button.\n\nStep 4: Under the Advanced tab you will see two boxes; Property and Value. \n\nNote: Depending on the type of Ethernet card you are using the headings in the Property box will be slightly different.\n\nStep 5: Select each heading in the Properties box until the Value box displays the speed of your Ethernet card (it will look like this: Auto-Negotiation, 10Mb Full, 100 MB Half, etc..). You want to select 10mb Full Duplex.\n\nStep 6: Keep clicking OK until you get to the desktop. Your computer may ask you to reboot depending on the version of Windows you are running.

Get either a hub / switch or a crossover cable.\nBeside cabling, both laptops will need a different IP address within the same range.\n\nMore detailed infos:\n\nhttp://www.homenethelp.com/web/explain/about-ethernet-crossover.asp\nhttp://www.answers.vt.edu/ask4help/connection/vtkb697.htm\nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/question549.htm

Assuming you have modem - go with 'Windows network'\n\nOtherwise, crossover ehter net cable.

network connections > right click connection > properties > configure > advanced > speed settings (possibly named differently) > pick one\n\nnote that auto detection is the best way to go, because forcing a duplex mode can cause worse performance

If the connection between the router and laptop is wireless, then the likely problem is vayying signal conditions, as you move around the building..  check the signal strength\nThere may also be interference from other sources -  you might even have a neighbouring network operatingon the same, or adjacent channels.\nWhen your transfer rate is low, try scanning for other networks...   try changing the channel that your network operates on.\n\n\nTry connecting your laptop to the router directly, and see if the transfer rate still varies...  if it does, the problem may not be in your network at all, it might be a service provider or distribution problm.  Have RR run a diagnostic.

Yes you can do that...provided you have an ethernet card in each system...you then need what is called a "null" cable or you will need a HUB...you can then do a peer to peer network....Google it and you will find the ways to do it step by step

Here's the following reason for slow transmission speeds.\n\n1) Poor connection between you & the server you're connecting to.  Sometimes a network hub goes down & your connection has to be re-routed on lesser-used hubs as a slower speed.\n\nIf a key network hub (pretty much within 5 hops of your connection, if you're using a router) goes down, it can severely cripple (if not kill) the connection for everybody that uses it.\n\n2) You're connecting during "Internet Rushhour".  Within the US, it's normally from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time (which covers the noon hour for the major 4 time zones in the US).  This is when most of the computers are online.\n\n3) Network congestion on the server.  There's just too many people trying to get onto the network at one time or too many users are download from the server.\n\n4) Local network congestion.  This occurs when you're sharing an internet connection with others & a lot of traffic going on locally.  This may be due to a lot of audio / video streams going on while you're doing lower-bandwidth activities (like web-surfing or downloading stuff)\n\n5) Unwanted Network users.  This is possible with unsecured WiFi routers as practically anybody in range will be able to connect to it.  Unwanted users can cause local network congestion, but may be hard to notice since these users can come & go whenever they please.\n\n6) Shared Bandwidth.  If you're on a Satellite or Cable connection, you're sharing bandwidth with others (like your neighbors).  If there's too many people using the same connection at the same time, the connection speed for everybody slows down (this is similar to issue #4).\n\n7) Incorrect Bandwidth Capping.  While this is highly unlikely, it's possible that your ISP incorrectly configured your broadband modem & you're getting stiffed with a slower connection.\n\n============================================\n\nBesides issues #5 & 7, there's nothing much you can do about it.\n\nFor Issue #5, it can be remedied by securing your WiFi router through various ways (WEP / WPA encryption, MAC filtering & disabling SSID broadcasting).\n\nFor Issue #7, you'll probably want to check with your ISP to ensure that the bandwidth caps are properly set.\n\nFor Issue #4, you could try to control how others use the internet connection...  but they'll most likely blow you off unless you can control the router(s).

You probably need to call your tech support about that problem..I run two computer's from a router all the time and both have equal speed

get a better internet connecton

The data running through the cords is running at 100 mbs, and that is fast.  If the cord is frayed or mangled, it may affect it's ability to carry data at that speed as it could be allowing outside interference.  Interference, such as from electricity, radio waves, and other signals floating through the air, could cause a high number errors which slows down the data.  I suggest replacing that cord with a new CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 Ethernet cord.  It will likely improve the Internet performance for that slower computer.

could be your card driver, your cable, the other end of your cable, the network and tcp/ip settings, you got some testing and tweaking to do

hub does not have any such options it got to be your router that u can ping

your internet server is most likely too slow

first check in bios whether the on-board lan deviceis enabled or not ,and after that chech it for networkdrivers r installed properly or not ,after that check tcp/ip settings

without a hub or a switch you would need a crossover cable availible anywhere. if you get a hub or a switch you can use two patch cables. make sure they both belong to the same workgroup and you should be good to go

1. Blue-tooth can resolve Your task (slow speed)\n2. Cable (with RJ-45 connector) for direct connection between 2 PC connection speed 100 Mb/s! . Patch cord for computer and switch/Hub not working! After connection make adjustment in control panel Your powerbook and PC. If You can't find this cable mail me. And i can send picture with colour pinout for making this cable.\n\nGood Luck!

Connection times out. Unless you have cable - I wouldn't leave it idle for longer than 2-3 hours. Shut it down, save the energy and further headache and frustration. :)
