Message-ID: <19990716120748.A629@ecad.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.5i Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hey all, I have two freeBSD machines one 3.1 -STABLE and the other 3.2 -STABLE, I was ftp ing a very large file from one machine to abother over are lan, it began to get extremely slow and began to stall. I suspected two much traffic on our hub (A N etgear 24port 10base-T) so i switched the two machines onto a 8 port Compaq Nett elligent hub. Now there are only these two machines on the hub and they are stil l stalling. I tried ftping both ways but it was the same thing. By looking at the lights on the hob it seems that a burst of data would come for 2 seconds and then it would be dead for 10. I have 3com 3c905b FastEthernet car ds in both machines, and up until now I have never had these kind of problems.
