Maybe I found something that can lead to the right direction.
Installed lshw-gtk on my laptop:
Code:
sudo apt-get install lshw-gtk && sudo lshw-gtk
Then I went to compare the ethernet configurations between both PC's and I found this:
DESKTOP:
Code:
size: 100MB/s
capacity: 1GB/s
width: 64 bits
capabilities:
10MB/s,
10MB/s (full duplex),
100MB/s,
100MB/s (full duplex),
1GB/s,
1GB/s (full duplex),
configuration:
duplex: full
speed: 100MB/s
LAPTOP
Code:
size: 10MB/s
capacity: 100MB/s
width: 32 bits
capabilities:
10MB/s,
10MB/s (full duplex),
100MB/s,
100MB/s (full duplex),
configuration:
duplex: half
speed: 10MB/s
There are definite differences here. Can it be the reason why my speeds are 10X slower? Also, what is "duplex" and is there a way to change it?
