Is there a way to network with TiVo and second computer?

So you are saying that this looks fine?

Only two words on the 2nd line, one the 4th and 8th
and three on the 6th. Does not look fine to me.

First off, fix your word wrap.

Unless something is slowing down your LAN you
should
notice the difference right away. Try timing
the transfer of
a 500MB file.

I tried to transfer a 4 Gig file and it seemed
to be cruising until about the 1/4 way, then it
went to 30 minutes or so, so I cancelled it.


Ok, for comparision I just copied a 4,654,580
KB VOB
File from one computer to my NAS and it took
5min. 28sec.

Copping the same file from one 10,000rpm SATA
Raptor to
another one on the same computer took 1min
29sec.

I just did another set using a 515,612 KB file :

from one computer to my NAS and it took 37sec.

from one 10,000rpm SATA Raptor to another one on
the same
computer took 12sec.

There is something wrong with your gigabit LAN,
if your
4Gig file is taking more than 6min.

Luck;
Ken

I tried again but didn't cancel when the number,
ETA, started getting bigger. It went to about 20
minutes but then went down rather quickly, so
maybe it's not as bad as I thought. I'm going to
time it again tonight.

It took about 7 min to transfer a 2 Gig file. I
guess I need to troubleshoot. Maybe I'll start
by seeing how long it takes to copy the same
file from one hard drive on the originating
computer to another drive on the same computer.

It took 4+ minutes to transfer a 2 Gig file from
one hard drive to another on the same computer. My
anti-virus software was disabled for both the
Gigabit transfer and the local transfer. I wonder
what's wrong and if there is any way to narrow
down, maybe through software where the
bottleneck(s) are.

Are you sure your drives are using DMA?

Your drive to drive transfers should take a little longer
than my SATA Raptor to Raptor times, but not that
much longer. You probably should get that corrected
before worrying about transfers over your LAN.

Thanks Ken,
I don't get the DMA settings. I've got 3 entries
in the controller section of the Device Manager.
The primary channel has "auto detect, DMA if
possible, and N/A for current transfer mode". The
secondary channel has "auto detect, DMA if
possible, and Ultra DMA mode 4", the other,
Vis Bus Master has no advanced settings. It seems
strange that the primary does not have a 'current
transfer mode'.

Thanks for your help. I probably need to get with
a peripherals ng. And check what's going on in the
other computer. Someone wrote that even if the
settings in the device manager are correct there
might be some changes necessary in the registry,
not something I want to do on the advice of an
anonymous expert.
