Hmm...I tried

"ifconfig rl0 mediaopt half-duplex" and = i get this=20 message

ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not=20 configured

by the way, transfers outbound from the = BSD box=20 seem to be about the right speed, but inbound transfers are very = slow. =20 Hadn't noticed this before because most of the time I am sending files = to the=20 BSD box.

Thanks for any help

Your=20 rl0 interface is connected to a 10bt hub. Your rl0=20 interface

is=20 configured for full duplex. This is a no-no. Configure rl0 = to

half=20 duplex and all should be well.

Sub= ject:=20 Very slow LAN transfers

I have my FreeBSD box set up as my = gateway to=20 the internet, as 192.168.0.1. Behind it are two windows = machines,=20 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3. When transfering between the = gateway and=20 either windows machine, speeds are excruciatingly slow, in the = neighborhood=20 of 80KB/sec. When transferring between the two windows = machines i can=20 reach around 1.5MB/sec.

I have an NE2000 compatible card = connected to=20 the internet and a Realtek 8139 based card on the LAN. The LAN = is=20 running off a 10BT hub. Here's a printout of = ifconfig:

rl0:=20 flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu=20 1500
        inet 192.168.0.1 = netmask=20 0xffffff00 broadcast=20 192.168.0.255

        inet = 127.0.0.1=20 netmask 0xff000000

Any help would be greatly=20 appreciated.

Thank = you.
