Re: Wireless considerably faster one way than the other

Hi John,

Upgraded firmware. No change...

With laptop as server::
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to 192.168.0.3, TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 8.00 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[884] local 192.168.0.1 port 3320 connected with 192.168.0.3 port 5001
read on server close failed: Software caused connection abort
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[884] 0.0-87.2 sec 48.0 KBytes 4.51 Kbits/sec

Interesting. Did you abort that manually?

No. This is what I've been seeing. If I try to send a large file (and
by large, I mean >10k!) to the laptop using Explorer, it just hangs and
hangs, then Windows reports that the network name is no longer
available. Here, it just says connection abort.
Note the interval in that printout - 87 seconds, whereas normally it
runs for 10 seconds.
Trying a copy from a command prompt, I get "error performing inpage
operation", or "the semaphore timeout period has expired". Very small
files do go over, and in fact I can - slowly - use the internet through
it, presumably because small packets are involved.

Yep. Really pointing to the ME102. Can you borrow a temporary
replacement?

Nope, on my own here.

Re the Intel drivers, I downloaded them (80 Mb?????!!!!!) and have them
installed. Hasn't made any difference to the throughput - no better, no
worse. Signal strength and quality both "excellent". I installed
everything from the package, and now have wireless management under
Intel control, rather than Windows. I'm looking at the advanced
statistics. I tried to copy a 6 Mb file from (success) then to
(failure) the laptop. Rather than typing it all out, I did some screen
grabs here:

Obviously the transmission stats show the full 6Mb, while the reception
shows it only got 300k and is using the lower rates more, but apart
from that I can't see anything bad. Any ideas?

Regards,

Dave
