Question : Help with slow Gigabit Home network

Hello,

Wonder if anyone can help with this rather (now) annoying issue

I've just upgraded the cabling in my house to CAT6 and purchased a Netgear GS605 10/100/1000 hub....i've got a Dell GX260 with built-in Intel gig NIC. I also purchased a Negear GA311 for my other PC

I've been testing my LAN speeds and have noticed that I am only acheiving about 200Mbps.... although my calculations could be incorrect (see below)

I've downloaded NETCPS to ensure that I am testing just network and not disk I/O.... NetCPS has come back with

---> CPS   30493696.00  KPS:  29779.00   MPS:   29.08

I assume that I take 29.08 * 8 =   232.64Mbps

Which speed should I be expecting as 200Mbps sounds like 100mb full duplexed.....

Both NIC's are set to 1000Mbps

Cheers

Mark
