How does the network speed work? - windows

I have connected one laptop to my pc via network cable. and I have shared some files between them. and it took 10MBps to share files but I connected another laptop to my PC and It sent 100MBps. so I would like to know why it happen? and how the file sharing speed depending on...? please help me someone to let it know...

10/100 is switchable between 10Mbps and 100Mbps so your rate of connection will be the slowest rate of the client and server. In this case if you are getting 10Mbps from your pc than you probably have a very old network card that isn't 10/100. Consider upgrading!

Different bandwidth between from modem and Mikrotik routerboard

I have level up of my internet bandwidth from 100mbps to 300mps, I tested from modem directly, I got 300mpbs. On the other hand, when I tested from Mikrotik-Routerboard RB1100AHx4 version, I got 100mbps, anyone can help me to resolve it?
I have checked menu of Filter, Queues, and others, but I don't get anything from this..

Ethernet valdiation

To make it simple, lets assume my company makes cables. I need an easy tool to validate that our cables fully support 100Mb Ethernet connection without any package lost. Is there a program / tool which can perform a full speed test of like an hour and monitor the lost packages as well?
Thanks!
You might have some luck with iPerf. It can stress-test a network connection and measure packet loss. You'd put an iPerf server at one end of the cable, and run the client on a machine at the other end.
To validate a twisted-pair cable for Cat-5e, Cat-6 or Cat-6A you need a professional cable tester (starts at 1000€ or so). Everything else is just try and error. You cannot seriously certify a cable using commodity hardware and some software.

Compress and copy same time to another server - slow

i have a big problem. I need tranfer a lot of files by a server to another server, but the second server isnt a local server. If i tranfer by a local server i cant 100mbs but if i send for another server out the speed is 2mbs. my network is 1gbs. I use a command line 7z.
If your servers are (as you wrote) on the same network and connected through the same line you are most likely to have a network connection problem.
I've often seen that the duplex settings of network cards are not set up correctly which leads to a lot of collisions.
Check your network card settings and try to force for example 100mbps full duplex.
I work for a company where this happens daily when trying to connect IBM network cards with Cisco switches. Have a look here how to set up duplex settings: https://superuser.com/questions/86581/how-do-you-check-the-current-duplex-value-of-a-network-card-set-to-auto-negotiat.

RN-42 Drops connection on SPP profile

I am using RN42 on embedded device connected to UART. Baudrate is 115200 ( I tried lowering it but didnt help. )
I am using default settings.
Every time when I pair a device with PC I can open a serial port to remote device, but as soon as i Close the port, and I try to open it again It will fail with "semaphore timeout error".
If I want to restore connection I have to delete device from PC and add it again, then it will work for 1st time and fail again.
Does anyone have similar issues or maybe solution to this? If you need more info ask, I realy dont know what info to supply in this case.
On PC side I have USB Bluetooth device and integrated one. The both behave the same.
On embedded side RN42 is connected to UART of AM3517.
I hope you can help me.
Regards,
Luka
I found the issue. It was PIN3 (GPIO6) connected high. This way after 1 connection module switched to auto master and was unable to connect to other masters.

Looking for a GSM modem advice

My application communicates with several GSM electric controllers, that means that I have to send anywhere between one to twenty messages every few hours. right now I'm working with HUAWEI Mobile Connect - 3G. it is a USB device that uses a comm port for the pc communication and I'm using GSMComm to send messages and read/delete messages from the device.
Every two seconds I'm checking the device's storage, and if there is any message, I will then read it and store it locally and then clear the device's storage. I'm not sure if I'm working correctly, but it seems to me as if it is a very unreliable device:
Every time I boot my machine, I must remove the device from the USB or my machine will get stuck at the BIOS start up screen (or whatever the name is).
Very frequently the comm port can become unavailable for some reason. I have to close and re open the port, and at times that may not even help.
In the production machine of my client, when he uses one of his software's that utilize the first comm port, he will get a warning message from the software about problems in the port if the device is plugged in (the device port is around 28 or something).
If you've been using a device which you consider reliable, or have been working with the same device as I work with, or you just think that I'm doing it wrong, I'd like to get an advice from you.
Thanks.
This sounds like an issue with your modem. Have you tried any other models? Consumer USB models tend to be unreliable. The preferred method, though slightly more expensive, is using a commercial grade modem in situations where you need the reliability.
Some modems to look at:
Wavecom Fastrack
Sierra Wireless Airlink
These use a serial port or ethernet to communicate with the host which is far more reliable. Serial ports may not be available in your particular situation but even a USB to RS232 adapter will be more reliable.
One further option is to use a smartphone, there are several applications that you can act as a gateway through HTTP.

i have not used this method, but it seems like some people are having luck with it. it may not be any more reliable then your USB modem though.
Hope that answers your question.
I have used WaveCom's modem for sending messages in bulks and found it to be reliable. One difference though, in my implementation was i used Kannel as an SMSC, so my queues were automatically handled by Kannel. But sending multiple requests like 40+ per minute didnt pose any problems for me.
Hope this helps.
