Streaming over the network cable is too slow

Hello I have tried myself a media server, however, is the stream from the PC to the PS3 totally slow already it takes about one minutes before the film ever starts to run and then he runs around just 20 seconds to return to be loaded.

I thought since my PC and the PS3 via a network hub, that the data almost as fast as it should be when accessing from the PS3 to an external hard drive?

I used my components.

PC AMD Athlon (tm) XP2800 +2.07 GHz +1 GB RAM
NIC: Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast
Network hub: SE-NS-105
Network cable: CAT5

As software is the first I have TVersity and now the trial of Nero Home Server tested, but both had the same (slow) results.

Thanks for each tip.

Now before I begin to explain large until I wrote a couple of times tables here.

USB1.0/1.1
Low-Speed (1.5 Mbit / s)
Full-speed (12 Mbit / s)

USB 2.0
Low-Speed (1.5 Mbit / s)
Full-speed (12 Mbit / s)
High-Speed (480 Mbit / s)

Ethernet (network card standard)
10 Mbit / s
100 Mbit / s
1 Gbit / s (1000 Mbit / s)


As you see now has only the 1 Gbit / s Ethernet card and a faster transfer of the current USB 2.0 standard because the PS3 is used (new external hard drives have USB 2.0 standard, those older have 1.0 or 1.1), all other Ethernet connections are slower.

hardware posted where I've viewed:
PC: too slow for streaming applications, there will be current for streaming on the PS3 always something of Core Duo processor.

Did you just say the driver name, but I guess the times are also only one card is 10/100Mbit/s
Stroke: is actually a 10/100 Switch (Hub and Switch are 2 different things)
Cables: High creates even 100Mbit / s


For 1Gbit network you need the appropriate hardware, where the network cable and go with the switch ends. But even then it would still be slow because your PC is zulangsam. The media server where I know, just before changing the image on the PS3 it comes in a 100% compatible video file. The economy just your PC is not fast enough.

Stream from PC to PC but would go, because you need no extra media server, but it demands the release folder and players such as VLC (Video Lan Client) to create it without bucking and halted the movie again to about the network.

I myself have not yet connected to the PC for Plays streamed, but at least regularly from my NAS (QNAP TS-109ProII). Need any streaming server load so much?

In addition, controlled times, whether your network cable CAT5 or CAT6 really is (if it is). Here you should of course check all the cables, between the PC and Plays are.

Other network-performance braking candidates are:
- Antivirus scans current system or the AVI file when accessing
- Running firewall
- Logs on any PC or router
