Ethernet question

[ikonix360]

I've got a question about ethernet.

My main PC has two ethernet ports and given the distance to the router I use the second port to feed a second PC by bridging the connections so I don't have to run a second ethernet cable.



The issue is this.

Here's the speed for the first PC.



Here's the speed for the second PC with the download speed possibly limited by the USB 2.0 ethernet adapter which I used because the built in ethernet port is not working and I have no room for an ethernet card.



Why is the upload speed now so slow on the main PC?

THen your software bridge is the issue.

Since it's a built in windows thing how would I fix it?
