neil-a1000 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I have 2 systems in my house. The main system runs latest Mandriva and has always run linux. The second system runs xp pro.. The systems connect to a router which assigns the IP addresses for me no problems. I recently lost the xp machine to a virus. Since I reinstalled that system the latest release of Mandriva was launched, so I upgraded to that. Since that upgrade I have been unable to stream movies from my linux machine to the windows machine. I even find it nearly impossible to copy a movie from the linx machine to the xp machine. How can I see the actual upload speed from the linux machine? How can I improve this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Did you consider using static IP's at your LAN instead of DHCP? It would be much easier to set, especially if your Linux installation is using iptables, or any other firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil-a1000 Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I have no issues with the firewall. I can transfer files to the linux machine quickly but cannot get them off the machine quickly. This has only happened since the upgrade to 2009.
