A couple of things to try: 1) Make sure that server's ethernet is set to the proper duplex. 2) Check netstat -s on server and look at TCP checksum and other errors. Do the same on a client machine. Also look at retransmits on both sides; you should be able to tell in which direction the problem is occuring by doing this. 3) I didn't see a mention of the type of NIC you were using; whatever that is, you might try something entirely different in the server and a client machine to see if that affects the problem. 4) Move server to a different hub port. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
