There is a way to increase your networking speed in a small network system. Basically this is for a network with less than 50 of PCs. You can manually assign each PC with a unique IP address. This can increase networking performance by 100%. This is very useful for data transferring of huge data. Or for querying huge database on local area network.

The problem is that automatic IP addressing can be very slow. When your computer boots, it has to query the network to see what IP addresses are already in use and then assign itself one. If you want to speed up the boot time a bit, consider manually assigning IP addresses to all computers on the network. This way, the network computers do not have to worry about locating an automatic IP address. Because one is manually configured, the operating system doesn’t have to spend time solving this problem.
