Slow file transfer between 2 computers
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?

I did more test xfers and reset the NIC's to 'auto' where I could and it seems ok now. Xfering a folder with many subfolders that contain many jpegs is a very slow xfer wher as a single large file flies.
Is this a 'Windows' thing?

@ anyone interested
i've solved the problem. it was the configuration of the network cards. The Link Speed/Duplex Mode of both machine was set to Auto Mode. After setting the XPSP2 workstation to a fixed 100BaseTXFullDuplex mode and the other 2kSP4 system to Auto Mode everthing is working fine.
