Hi.
My fileserver is a Dell R730xd running Windows Server 2019 (2x 10GbE & 2x 1GbE QLogic BCM57800 network cards)
My workstation is running Windows 10 (1x 10GbE Aquantia 10G & 1x 1GbE Intel I211 network cards)
Both machines has a normal 1GbE network to my network.
IP's provided by DHCP. They are 192.168.2.87 for my server and 192.168.2.186 for my workstation.
I want to run 10Gbe direct between my workstation and server so i can get speed for video editing directly of my file server.
I have tried running a normal CAT6a cable between the 10Gbe card on my server and workstation and i set a static ip on both machines.
Server at 192.168.3.1 and workstation at 192.168.3.2.
I got a connection, and tried to map a network drive using the IP from the direct connection.
I can ping the ip and i do get a response.
Windows Task manager shows that all traffic goes through the 1G link no traffic on the 10G link.
I also tried to set the IP's on the 10G link in the same subnet as my normal network, but still all traffic goes on the 1G link.
I have read a few threads here on the forum, and googled my brains out, but can not find any good information about what i am doing wrong.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
