I believe that all your alias ip addresses should have a netmask of 0xffffffff. Only your first address is supposed to have the "true" netmask. This is what the manual claims and what I've done. Also, I have a realtek card with the rl driver and it's slow for me as well but my research on the net seems to say this is just a cheap and slow card. if you 'man ifconfig' and 'man rl' you can see the options you are allowed to force. -lee -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of William Ashworth Sent: Saturday, May 03, 2003 12:50 PM To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: Proper way to configure NIC in full duplex Hello, I'm using an r10 nic and have all the information already configured in rc.conf, however, transfer speeds are unusually slow (i.e., 55-60kbps when it SHOULD be somewhere near 1.00mbps+) Someone told me that I might not be running the interface in full duplex. How can I determine this? How can I fix it if I am not currently running in full duplex? Any assistance is appreciated and below is the output of my interface information: www# ifconfig rl0 rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 216.194.67.6 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 216.194.67.255 inet6 fe80::248:54ff:fe3d:350%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 66.51.100.209 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 66.51.100.223 inet 66.51.100.210 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 66.51.100.223 inet 66.51.100.211 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 66.51.100.223 inet 66.51.100.212 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 66.51.100.223 inet 66.51.100.213 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 66.51.100.223 inet 66.51.100.214 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 66.51.100.223 inet 66.51.100.215 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 66.51.100.223 inet 66.51.100.216 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 66.51.100.223 inet 66.51.100.217 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 66.51.100.223 inet 66.51.100.218 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 66.51.100.223 inet 66.51.100.219 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 66.51.100.223 inet 66.51.100.220 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 66.51.100.223 inet 66.51.100.221 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 66.51.100.223 inet 66.51.100.222 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 66.51.100.223 ether 00:48:54:3d:03:50 media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: active Thanks, William Ashworth will@pchammer.net _______________________________________________ freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-newbies-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
