When I try to upload files to this machine from a windowsXP box, I only get about 30KB/s on the 10BaseT cat 5 network. This identical machine previously was able to receive transfers of 1000KB/s when it was running under windows 98. I'm only getting 3% of the windows receive performance. My best guess is that this is a driver issue. I had possibly similar problem with the same card under win98. The issue was if you set the driver to full duplex when the card hardware was not setup for full duplex (it is capable of full duplex, but you need to tell the hardware in some way), the transfer rate would be ridiculously slow. I'm guessing this is a similar problem, however, ifconfig shows: ed0: flags=8843 so I don't think it's the full/half-duplex problem. I've googled the net and searched the mailing list, and found some others have had similar problems with the Realtek 8029, but I never found a solution. Can anybody help here? Mark V.
