Network problems

[Alex Lavrov]

Hello!

The attached file, show my network configuration.
(well, not the smartest way to connect things, but that's how the things are right now)

The problem is, that the connection in one direction from laptop to the pc (that are connected to the same switch) is really fast, but in other direction it really slow and disconnects ...

The switch is Planet fnsw-2401.

thanx!

Slower transmision in one direction usually indicates a duplex mismatch. Try setting both ends of each connection (PC to Switch) to the same speed and duplex. 100-FULL if possible but if not 10-Half will do.

Do not set one end of connection to 100 full and assume the other will automatically adjust. It doesn't work that way. You must set each manually.

A slight possibility is a bad cable with a noisy receive or transmit pair. NIC drivers can also do stupid things so make sure you have the latest driver installed.

Another very unlikely possibility would be a mask problem on one which would send its traffic to a router.

Thank you, after I set on the both computers 100/Full it works much faster.
