Home networking and speed

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: BooRadley

If I have both my machines plugged into the local router, shouldn't FTP from one machine to the other fly like hell, not at the maximum speed of my upstream bandwidth from my ISP? My router's routing table seems to suggest that it's directing traffic from one machine to the other without going over the internet, but it's slow as ****.

Anyone know what's wrong?

192.168.1.1 is the router
192.168.1.100 should be the desktop
192.168.1.102 should be the laptop

The only routers I ever mess with are at work, and networking on real networks doesn't seem to work exactly like networking on home networks. Even using my 10baseT switch was faster than this, by a long shot, because it was direct from one machine to the other. I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone take a gander as to what it is?

Edit: By the way, this is wireless to wired via a Linksys router, and the trace is one hop.
