I've been using scp, ftp, http, to test this. A Windows box on the same segment can send/receive at 6MB/s with either box, but for some reason the FreeBSD box and Linux box are having some weird interaction. My guess is I need to tune one or the other's tcp stack. Any hints? Anyone seen this? FreeBSD box is FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p2. Linux box is Gentoo Linux 1.4rc1 with kernel 2.4.19-gentoo-r10. Windows box is Windows 2000 sp3. Thanks in advance for any help... I'm out of ideas. -matt -- matthew c. mead http://www.goof.com/~mmead/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
