Hi all, I have a dlink di-604 router, one computer (sempron 3000) with 4x250 gig drives, and one computer (p2-400) with 3x40 gig drives. I use the slow computer as mainly a storage dump but copying between computers takes forever! Just to copy a dvd between computers when I am downloading as well can take over 45 minutes. My main computer has 2 network jacks. I have both plugged into the router right now but it doesnt do anything. Can I use the extra network plug to connect directly to the gigbit lan card I put in the old computer so transfers dont take so damn long?

Please get back to me!

What is the speed of the P2 NIC card. If it's only 10mbps, the max through put is around 3 m/sec. You may also running into a horse power or lack of with the P2.
