I haven't had a chance to play with anything. As for work load, the server main rolls are IIS(ASP Forum), RDP, ICS, Hamster(News server, NNTP) and file backup for the 2 Xp boxes. I really can't be arsed playing with RRAS, one, I don't really know how to use it and 2, it's a simple 3 computer network mainly used as a dialup gateway. There has to be a simple way to boost the WLAN speed. RWIN, TTL and MTU???

Quote: Ahhhhh.... Very good. It looks like you had it going ok, but going with RRAS will probably be a better solution. Yeah all I have to do now is work out how to use RRAS. :x

;( I'm not going to pretend I know 100% what you're telling my, but I'll have a go.. Orginaly I had: <--->internal modem<-->Win2003(With ICS)<---LAN--->XpPro.. Win2003 IP - 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 XpPro IP - DHCP from Win2003(LAN) Speed - 100Mbps Then I added a wireless cards to Win2003 and XpHE and gave them simple IPs: Win2003 Wireless IP - 10.0.0.1/255.0.0.0 XpHE Wireless IP - 10.0.0.2/255.0.0.0 Speed - 54Mbps to 36Mbps (Mostly held 54Mbps) I then just disabled ICS on Win2003, highlighted the LAN and WLAN connection and clicked Bridge. Now I have: Win2003 Bridged IP - 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 XpPro IP - DHCP from Win2003(LAN) XpHE IP - DHCP from Win2003(WLAN) LAN Speed - 100Mbps WLAN Speed - 1Mbps I let Win2003 handle everything. Everything is working, all computers can access the net via Win2003, all computers can share printers and files. It's just the speed on the wireless 1/2 of the network that I want to boost. I'll play with "Routing and Remote Access" as soon as my download finishes. Cheers

It's Ad-hoc wireless from Win2003 and XpHE. I don't have an AP. Both Win2003 and XpHE have wirless PCI cards. Setup: |--------Wirless(p2p)--------XpHE | | Win2003(with Wirless card and 10/100 LAN card)<--->modem<--->net | | |--------LAN(cat5)----------XpPro For both XpHE and XpPro to share the internet, and for XpPro to be able to see the printer in XpHE, I need to bridge the connection between the 10/100 card and the wireless card. But as soon as I bridge the connection the wireless PCI card in Win2003 drops back to 1Mbps.

The setup: Win2003 networked to XpHE via the WLAN at 54Mbps. Win2003 networked to Xp Pro via LAN at 100Mbps. I want Xp Pro to share files with XpHE, so I bridge the LAN and WLAN with Win2003. Bridging the 2 network cards slows the WLAN down to 1Mbps. As soon as I delete to bridge the wireless network jumps back to 54Mbps. :x Anyone know a work around for this?
