The way my network setup goes is as follows. I am splitting a DSL connect using NAT and my FreeBSD box. The DSL goes into the FreeBSD box into a linksys ethernet card, and is sent to the LAN through a 3com=20 100base t ethernet card... From there, it goes into a switch and then 3=20 other Win2k machines are plugged into the switch. The problem is as follows. Previously, I was using a 100 mb hub from 3com,=20 but recently upgraded to a 100 mb switch made by linksys. The exact=20 product is the Linksys 10/100 8 port wokrgroup switch model EZXS88W. When=20 I was using the 3com hub, everything worked flawlessly. However with the=20 switch, any file transfers between my FreeBSD box and the Win2k machines are very slow.. On the order of 300kb/sec. However, the strange thing is,=20 file transfers between Win2k machines are as fast as they should be, so it=20 seems as though any transfers between a machine and the FreeBSD box are=20 slow. So the only the that I have done is change from the hub (which=20 worked fine) to the new switch which seems to be causing problems. I have also tried plugging the line from the FreeBSD box into another port=20 on the switch, but no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated -Edward Chu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message ------_=_NextPart_001_01C0DE34.CD096A26 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META NAME=3D"Generator" CONTENT=3D"MS Exchange Server version = 6.0.4417.0"> <TITLE>RE: Networking Problems</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <!-- Converted from text/plain format --> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2>Make sure all the nics are running in full duplex = mode.</FONT> </P> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2>-----Original Message-----</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>From: Edward Chu [<A = HREF=3D"mailto:ecchu@mit.edu">mailto:ecchu@mit.edu</A>]</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2001 11:00 AM</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>Subject: Networking Problems</FONT> </P> <BR> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2>Hello there,</FONT> <BR> <FONT SIZE=3D2>I was = wondering if anybody could help me out with this networking </FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>problem.
