Most of my network in my house is wired CAT6.

I wanted to test my connection from WHS 2011 (Hal) running as a VM in a Hyper-V Role under Server 2008 R2 Ent. (Destiny) TO my WHS V1 (SkyNET).

My WHS 2011 VM is on my N40L MicroServer with an Intel NIC Card tied to the virtual NIC. The WHS V1 is running on my EX-487.

These are my results:

Not too shabby there JM

If at first you don't succeed, do it like your mother told you.

I think the important thing to note is the name "SKYNET" for your V1 server. I thought you were kidding, but you weren't. I think this moves you closer to the top of the geek chain.

I wonder if he 'terminates' his old computers?

I recently re-tested my network after replacing my central switch with a DGS-1024D after having a DGS-2205 and a DGS-2208 Daisy Chained together.............

The DGS-1024D is nice!

Nice boost in overall performance there Joe_Miner. Goes to show how important it is to try to get everything on 1 switch.,..well, unless you can daisy chain switches together with a 10Gb fiber link or multi-trunk a few ports together.

If at first you don't succeed, do it like your mother told you.
