[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1350139, member: 8287"] Do remember one thing, if you transfer large files and use activity monitor, the speed will also be limited by how fast the hard drive can write in the system on the receiving end! Gigabit is so fast, older hard drives will affect the speed as they can only receive data so fast! :D Grin There are utilities to test network speed. Let me see what I can find for OSX. So far with OSX I have just used the method you described as it tells me if it's working or not. [/QUOTE]
