| We have a network with six computers at our workplace. Last month, we connected the Xbox. From that moment, I had the filling that our network works rapidly slower then earlier. At first, I thought that I am just imaging it. However, yesterday I installed software for measuring network performance and I found out that our 100Mbps switch works at 10Mbps. What is the problem? |

| Your problem is not caused by connecting network and Xbox, because Xbox is just an ordinary PC. If they see each other, everything is OK with that connection. From your story, I understand that you have 100Mbps network cards in all computers in the network. If you are not certain then be sure to check that immediately before anything else. Also, check that maybe somebody did not reduce the speed of its 100Mbps network cards to work at 10Mbps. You have a switch as you say, and most switches nowadays have auto sense option. That means that if only one machine in the network has lower connection speed, switch automatically reduce the speed of all the others to that speed. Otherwise, you will all have to set your card to 10Mbps if you want that your network work correctly. |
