Slow file transfer between 2 computers

[videobruce]

If I transfer files from box A to box B using box A as the controlling terminal all is fine, BUT if I transfer the SAME files from the same location to the same location using box B as the controlling terminal the transfer is either very, very slow or dies altogether. I tried different files and the same thing. I reversed the transfer (B to A) and still the same thing. The computer which I used to initate the xfer shows no problem. If I do it from the other the xfer dies.

I have defragged both drives and changed NIC's in both boxes. I also forced 100 full duplex on both cards.
Both boxes are running 2k w/sp4 with new O/S installs.

Hope that made sense. Any ideas?

Is there any colissions between the 2 boxes?? Are you routing it throuhg a hub/router?

I know I had an issue with one of my hubs where i'd get a 75% chance of collisions and at 10Base, it wasn't exactly a good thing, since I was trying to run video through it.

I had a problem like this once. Right click on your network places and click properties, then right click on your LAN connection and click properties again. At the top of that screen it should say your network card and click configure. Find the area under advanced that says speed/duplex mode (might be slightly different for each network card, look around) and change from autoconfigure to force 100 mbps full duplex (10 if you are on a base 10t network) hopefully that might fix your problem.
