Network question

[Chuck Guzis]

Well, here's why I asked.

The system sitting off of the second hub seems to get about 10% lower 
throughput (same O/S, same NIC) off the 'net than any system sitting 
off the first hub (all much slower systems).  

Could the second hub and the translation/turnaround over the coax 
link between the two be the culprit?

Just trying to figure out why a 2 GHz box is getting consistently 
beaten by a 225 MHz one.

Cheers,
Chuck
