I got lazy and slept in before having to be to work tonight so I wont be able to get the crossover cable until tomorrow, however.
I thought there was no way I had CAT5 cable but I did have some of it, so I trashed that. Right now I have CAT6 going to the server, and CAT5E going from the Linksys WRT310N router to the comcast modem, and I used an extra CAT5E to connect to my laptop from the router. With the CAT5E connected to the laptop I got:
TCP window size: 8.00 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[164] local 192.168.1.101 port 50614 connected with 192.168.1.145 port 5001
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[164] 0.0-10.0 sec 110 MBytes 91.9 Mbits/sec
Is that still a little slow? I guess not though, my LAN is only rated at 100Mb/s wired according to my task manager.
Without the Cat5E connected just using my laptops 150Mb/s wireless I got:
------------------------------------------------------------
[164] local 192.168.1.148 port 50651 connected with 192.168.1.145 port 5001

[164] 0.0-10.0 sec 42.0 MBytes 35.2 Mbits/sec
35.2Mb/s out of a 150Mb/s network??? I don't understand why the slower wired network is running faster. It must be time for a new laptop.. I'm guessing my laptop is the bottleneck?
