Is it possible to share my dsl 512kbps with my Pal, who is accessing my computer via IIS ftp he is only downloading at 5kbps/56k dialup.
Or is there a better/faster way to share files.
Thanks Paul
FTP:> WIN XP PRO
Pal:>Win XP Home : :(

no, you can only transfer the files as fast as the slowest link...
if you were fairly close to eachother, within a few hundred feet, you could setup a pier-to-pier network (wirelessly), it would only cost you about $50-$100 (all together)
Nah he lives miles away.
Thanks.
are you asking if you can 'up' the speed of his file transfers from your computer? thre is a setting you can adjust to throttle iis. I'm not sure if it is only available in a real server though...meaning i'm not sure if xp pro/home have that setting...i KNOW 2000 server has that cause i used it the other day..
Can't be faster than his 56k dialup line, though.
:blush: good point...i read that but by the time i started to reply, i forgot what the other speed was :blush:
on a similar note...what's this about NetZero 3G or something like that?
ya, i would like to know also... if i had to take a guess, i would guess it is almost exactly the way DSL works, in that you have to live close ehough to one of their router things to get it, so i doubt everyone will beable to get it... but that is my guess, with no research to back it up!
Is it true to say that uploads/downloads are the same, and speed is determind by the slowest link.
final speed is dtermined by a lot of things starting with computer one and ending with computer one...anything in the middle will and CAN slow down a transfer. network traffic, even STATIC electricity can slow things down...believe it or not, the WEATHER can affect speed...when it gets hot outside, the speeds will decrease a tad.Quote:

That's exactly what that seems like...How much is the service? 3 times more? LOL
i think it is like $14.95USD
shoot, thats not bad at all...my mom might could benefit from that service. She can't get high-speed in her apt because of the age of the material in her building.
I think its time me mate upgraded to broadband thanks anyways people
