I have my windows box running off a nat on my fbsd box, it transmits to my isp at a max of about 160k down 70k up. Transfering files between the two boxes can be done at a max of 1.6M down and 130k up. Hense its physcially impossible for it to be a hardware problem. This is all quite annoying as both boxes are connected by http://www.startech.com/ststore/itemdetail.cfm?tab=b&ProductID=ST100S&topbar=topbara.htm 10/100 nics and a 50' crossover cable. Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this issue and how it could possibly be resolved? Here is the output from ifconfig on the bsd box: rl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::250:fcff:fe71:a11b%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:50:fc:71:a1:1b media: Ethernet 100baseTX status: active rl1: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::250:bfff:fe17:63a2%rl1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 142.59.160.131 netmask 0xfffff800 broadcast 142.59.167.255 ether 00:50:bf:17:63:a2 media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active lp0: flags=8810 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ppp0: flags=8010 mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552 faith0: flags=8002 mtu 1500 And here is the output from ipconfig /all on the the win box: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : FAMILY Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-50-FC-71-A1-31 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.2 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 209.115.131.51 209.115.152.150 216.123.198.243 209.115.152.130 Thanks, ryan _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.msn.com%2f%3fpage%3dmisc%2fspecialoffers%26pgmarket%3den-ca
