That seems about right for peer to peer SMB over a wireless network. Your connection profile may say your connected at 54Mbps but you're really only going to see throughput up to *maybe* 28Mbps if everything is optimal.

you can filter the capture file based on the smtp port, then save it as a pcap file and send it to me if you like. There shouldn't be anything sensitive in the SMTP traffic stream.

Code: Select all

GAD(config)#
should be 'presented' to you at the router console, so you shouldn't be typing that in. Once you send 'router igrp 101' your prompt should change to:

Code: Select all

GAD(config-router)#
and then you can start entering your network statements.
