Hi,

I have a system that has 1 x de0 device (DEC 21040 10mbit ethernet card),
and one fxp0 device (Intel Pro100B ethernet device).

It all worked fine under 2.2.5 - I have the de0 go off to our cisco router
(and the internet), and the fxp0 goes via a cross-over cable to my Windows
NT workstation (and another Intel card)...

Throughput on the fxp0 is great (I have them both configured for 100Mb,
full-duplex) - I can get FTP's up into the 6-8Mb/sec range mostly - but now
I've re-installed the system as 2.2.6 I've run into problems...

If I start transfering a group of files - they will start transfering OK,
but then it just 'stops'. 

If I'm using FTP it will 'stutter' and continue - then pause again, then
continue - and eventually get the whole thing done (I've checked the box -
while it's 'paused' theres not disk or network activity)

If I'm using Samba it will start copying the files - then 'pause' - and the
NT box comes back with "An unexpected network error occured" (Nice helpful
error message! ;-)

Has anyone seen anything similar? - Small files go fine, it's just real
large monster files (I used to regularly transfer 2Gb+ under 2.2.5 without
problems)

I've looked at TCPDUMP's from the transfers (not fun!) - but I can't see
anything untowarn in there... Samba does through up an 'error in packet at
line xxxx' error - which I'm trying to look into at the moment...

Regards,

Karl Pielorz
