I started an Acronis backup wirelessly, and after i saw the estimated
time it would take to complete, I figured I would be smart to switch to an ethernet cable connection thru the Netgear router. I restarted Acronis, and watched its progress for more than 15 minutes. It didnt even get to 1%. The wireless connection backup got past 3% in far less time, so I switched back to wireless mode. Anyone know where the fault lies? Vista? networking settings? router settings? acronis? Just seems illogical that the wireless mode is far faster than using an ethernet cable. Dave |

Did you check to make sure the wired connection was operating at 100Mbps? If
it was only 10Mbps it could easily be slower than wireless. -Mike "David" wrote: I started an Acronis backup wirelessly, and after i saw the estimated time it would take to complete, I figured I would be smart to switch to an ethernet cable connection thru the Netgear router.

Boot from the Acronis Recovery CD and try the backup. That will eliminate Vista
as a source of the problem. On Mon, 11 Jun 2007 00:21:01 -0700, techweenie wrote: Did you check to make sure the wired connection was operating at 100Mbps?
