I've just read through the whole thread, and it seems that many of you have the same specs and problems as me. Here's my conf:
- Asus A7N8X Deluxe
- D-Link Wifi base
- XBOX 1.6
- Xecuter 3

I did this:
- Tossed out that sucky D-Link base. I've owned quite a few D-Link products, and honestly have had problems with ALL of them... Slow transfers, lots of dropouts etc... Check out http://www.tomsnetwo...cle42-page3.php for a list of manufacturers that use the same wifi(g) chipset as D-Link and stay away from all of them! (Anyone know of a more complete list?)
- Disable Determistic Network Enhancer in the net cards config. It seems that DNE does a quite good job in xp->xp transfers, but xp->linux REALLY get slowed down (!). "Confirmed" this by putting a 166mhz linux-box instead of my xp sp2 box, and achieved about 5mb/s (hdd/box's max i think) on crossed cable, while xp was only able to do 1mb/s or so.

Anyways, have to say that the wifi-standards really sucks. After setting up 5+ different wifi-networks, it seems that products from different manufacturers have huge problems communication with each other... Use wired network if you can!

Hope this can help some of you!

Hey All!!
I'm having the same problem, I have a V.6 xbox, and my speeds start slow and end up at 0.0 .. .. any1 have a solution, I am using EVOX BIOS, and evolution x dashboard, transfering with Flash FXP. I do not have Zone Alarm, but I did have norton 2003, uninstalled just incase, and still no solution. my chip is a Xenium with latest firmware. there are no firewalls enabled anywhere, and I am using a linksys router WRT54G ,, Any Suggestions.

Thanks to you all especially Jazzcactus with the EVEREST Utility (Get it) and MrAkki from the ZA forums.

Well the problem was indeed ZA 5.x.

It would seem that this version corrupts Winsock but there is light at the end of the tunnel!!!!

If you download and run WinsockFix (http://www.snapfiles...nsockxpfix.html) it will correct the problem and all being well in love and war should restore FlashFXP to its former glory!!!

This solution has been successfully tested on two systems both running ZA 5.x

Please let me know if this solution works for you.

Regards and again thanks D&B

Definitely a Zone Alarm problem; winsock fix fixed it immediately for me. We use winsock fix at work to fix the messed up winsock layers due to spyware infestations but it would have never occured to me that Zone Labs product would have hosed the winsock layer. Shame on them.

so infact some who are still having troubles it could simply just be your router is the problem

definatly try a direct connection with a crossover cable

Ive had this problem and I found a quick fix. Sorry, I havent been reading the other replies but I'll add my response anyway. If you are really desperate ( i couldnt find any other fix) Start up XBMC and have that open when you need to FTP. It handles FTP differently and this is VERY fast. It fixed it for me

Hi
To those of you who ran the winsock fix (http://www.snapfiles...nsockxpfix.html)

Does this also work on an win2000 or is it only for XP ?  Has anyone tried it? I would like to know this before I risk messing up my w2k installation.

Had the same problems as everyone else...finally found the post containing the Winsock fix...

The Winsock Fix works beautifully!  Thank you for finding and posting that link!  I'm one happy FTPer!

Thanks!
