Have a Dell XPS w/gigabit ethernet. Got a 1 TB network drive w/ethernet connector (gigabit).
Tried: etherrnet cable between XPS-drive nothing crossover cable nothing 2 cables plus gigabit switch works, but REAL slow, like USB 1.1
Tried changing settings from gigabit to 100meg to 10meg. No improvement.
I just bought a EEE PC 1000h, which doesn't have a CD/DVD, so, I'd like to connect the EEE PC to have access to the CD/DVD on the XPS, as well as the network drive.
Any pointers to network setup or advice appreciated.
thanks
