Setting the start threshold higher increases the number of bytes which are buffered in the tx fifo which increases the allowable bus latency. And according to the linux driver for the 3com cards: Tx underrun (not enough PCI bus bandwidth). It's not a problem as far as I know, if the message stops (depending on how mutch traffic there is on your network, at my FreeBSD box it sometimes rize= s to 300 bytes) the systems works fine. " so - i'm wondering if anyone has deal w this type of issue before, and if s= o, how to configure my nic card to perform this type of ftp transfer. any advice would be appreciated thanks again redmond --huq684BweRXVnRxX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+NxASFNjun16SvHYRAmn9AKCT/2GU71jb5yyIt/4sBsvd6KMsLwCgw0MY ea8ISZOxVgTlaGL42IQ634c= =SSmB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --huq684BweRXVnRxX-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
