not getting correct speeds

[legopc]

so im trying to transfer some files from one computer to the other using windows shares but the thing is im only getting 50mb/s max but both nics are gbit capable and im using a 1m cat5e cable and there is no router between the computers so i dont know what im doing wrong here so could anyone help?

Megabit/s or Megabyte/s?

If it's 50 MB/s it's close to 1/2 of the NIC's full capability, so it's OK IMO

ist mb/s but why does it only do 1/2 of the full speed... and the hardrives are not an issue i can asure you that

i dont have one laying around but why do you thing that could fix it?

could be the NIC's getting confused / there is network collisions causing half of the data transmission to be lost. you have to think, since it is going down the same cable, the data has to go one way, right? disconnect your router from the WAN then use the LAN ports as a switch

do you have static ip adresses set up on both computers? and try using another cable

yes always

i do think i still have an old router laying around i might try that

bizzare. welp, i guess you'll have to make do ^^ im not really a networking expert but it was worth a shot

well anyway thanks for trying to help but also there is one more thing when im copying crap the other way around it reaches speed up to 65 mb/s

Derp... just realized you had the pc's directly connected...

 Try manually setting speed and duplex. If that doesn't fix it I'd point you to your HDD's
