Hello there, I was wondering if anybody could help me out with this networking problem. The way my network setup goes is as follows. I am splitting a DSL connect using NAT and my FreeBSD box. The DSL goes into the FreeBSD box into a linksys ethernet card, and is sent to the LAN through a 3com 100base t ethernet card... From there, it goes into a switch and then 3 other Win2k machines are plugged into the switch. The problem is as follows. Previously, I was using a 100 mb hub from 3com, but recently upgraded to a 100 mb switch made by linksys. The exact product is the Linksys 10/100 8 port wokrgroup switch model EZXS88W. When I was using the 3com hub, everything worked flawlessly. However with the switch, any file transfers between my FreeBSD box and the Win2k machines are very slow.. On the order of 300kb/sec. However, the strange thing is, file transfers between Win2k machines are as fast as they should be, so it seems as though any transfers between a machine and the FreeBSD box are slow. So the only the that I have done is change from the hub (which worked fine) to the new switch which seems to be causing problems. I have also tried plugging the line from the FreeBSD box into another port on the switch, but no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated -Edward Chu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
