Speed up network between OS X and Windows XP
Authored by: morphis on Mar 08, '05 11:49:24AM

Try installing the IPv6 client on the Windows XP box.

I have had no such problem between my Mac OS 10.3.8 on a Dual 1.25 G4 and my Windox XP box on a AMD 2800+(running at 2.8GHz yes overclocking is GOOD) with the IPv6 client installed over a 1000BaseTX.

Have copied 187GB in 2 hours. it was by the way maxing out the cpu doing so thow. Between my G4 and a G5 pretty much max out the Gigbit in a similar transfer (with hardly any cpu usage when compaired with the XP box). shows you how greedy windows is on network transfers.

The Pegasus NAS units from Maxtronics are like 5x faster than 2003 server runing on a Dual 3Ghz Xeon Intel Box (All stock intel parts down to the 4 channel SATA RAID controller)
