Got about 60 comps on office network. Mix 2k and XP. With 2 different broadband connections (Eircom and Smart, 5mbs lines) the 2k machines show a speed of approx 3mbs. The XP machines show the full 5mbs. This is when running speed testers on the ISPs own online speed test pages. Anyone know what might be happening here?

Different MTU's perhaps?

OK. So the difference in download speed between the 2k machine and the XP machine is real?

I set MTU=1500 on 2k machine but didn't make any difference.
