Speed up network between OS X and Windows XP
Authored by: jporten on Mar 08, '05 03:48:52PM

Possibly OT, but my reason for turning off IPv6 was due to horrific problems handshaking with some FTP servers, using multiple clients. Turned it off and the problem went away entirely.

Speed up network between OS X and Windows XP

Hmm, what would we need, or want, IPv6 for, anyway? I mean, what does it do for us? I thought it was a standard coming in the future, not in use yet [but I know little about it].

Also, for morphis: you wrote, "it was by the way maxing out the cpu doing so thow." What do you mean? "Thow" isn't a word. Did you mean "Though" or "through"? I can't tell if it's a typo; not sure what you mean here.

Speed up network between OS X and Windows XP

I've encountered this slowdown problem between my G5 and my WinXP box, but only after the WinXP machine has been "woken up" from sleep. I have to reboot the WinXP to restore normal network speed. It's a nuisance because I don't use the WinXP machine all that much and would prefer to allow it to sleep when not in use.
