It's very slow, even when downloading from a box just one hop away. For example, I downloaded a 26MB file at a speed of 12.53kB/s. During the download, if I pinged a box 1 hop away, I got 53% packet loss... I'm guessing this could be a poor line (i.e. the DSL line). Or could it be related to my PPPoE configuration? note: my mtu/mru are both 1452. I have tried mru 1500, which ppp resets to 1492. My DSL provider indicates mtu must be 1452. I'ved tried higher values, without success.[1] Any suggestions apart from leaving it to my DSL provider to figure out? Could this be a a configuration issue? ifconfig, ppp.conf, etc, at http://www.freebsddiary.org/tmp/pppoe.txt [1] - well partial success. the connection exhibits the same problems as characterized at http://www.daemonnews.org/200101/pppoe.html#pmtu (e.g. can access some websites, but not others). -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary - http://freebsddiary.org/ - practical examples To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
