For some strange reason when something is uploaded to the freebsd machine, the speed is very ridiculous [4~5 KBytes/sec] but when I download from it I have > 500KBytes/sec How can somebody change the SIMPLEX on the ifconfig? If I change to half duplex the speed, will it be better for uploads to the box? And by the way I think SIMPLEX is anotehr word for UNICAST.... I am planning to buy another network card to achieve better performance... Regards, BigB - --- We are being monitored..but there is a solution... Use PGP for signing and encrypting emails!!!!
