This tweak will speed up your network to the speeds you thought you
were getting. It is dependant on the network equipment that you are
using, so please see the oppropriate section.
By default windows uses an auto detect feature to determine your link
speed. This feature can not handle 100Mbps. to change it. Click
Start and right click on "My Network Places" and select properties. On
the network connections windows, right click on the adapter for your
network connection and click properties. Click the configure button on
the Local Area Connection Properties window. Click the advanced tab on
the new window. Highlight the one on the list that relates to speed. (My
one card is Speed & Duplex, where the other is Connection type, i
have also seen media type, and i am sure there are others) If you can
figure out which one it is, simply click each one, and look at the value
box, your speed property will have the value Auto Negotiate. Change
this value to one of the following:
Hub Networks
Hubs can only handle half duplex speeds (50mbps in / 50mbps out =
100mbps), because they lack the ability to create virtual circuits as
they are stupid, so set this to 100 half duplex (i've also seen 100 half mode)
Switch Network
Switches are smarter devices, and can handle full duplex speeds
(100mbps in / 100 mbps out = 200 mbps), because they know which port the
destination computer is, and create a virtual circuit to it, so set this to 100 full duplex (i've also seen 100 full mode)
Router Network
Routers, with buit in hub, see hub section, routers with built in switch see switch section.
Please remember to make these changes on every computer on the
network, or you will no notice a change. A transfer is as fast as the
slowest connection, in most cases, windows auto negotiate.
To increaase your speed further, refer to

this will remove the 20% cap on your 100 mbps full duplex network
Enjoy the network speed.
