My Win2K box has a NetGear 100mbps card and my FSBD 4.3 is using an the integrated 100mbps card in my HP E60 NetServer. The HP card is seen as fxp0: on boot up. All work is done from the FSBD box. I can receive from the Win2K at sufficient speed but sending to the Win2K is EXTREMELY slow. It took me well over a half hour to send a 50M file to the Win2K box. My network configuration is as follows: ISP <-> 3Com 812 ADSL Router <-> TrendNet 10/100 Switch <-> Win2K and FBSD. The router is also my DNS server and does NAT for my internal network. ifconfig output: fxp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::2e0:18ff:fec4:f45e%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:e0:18:c4:f4:5e media: autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX 10baseT/UT P 10baseT/UTP lp0: flags=8810 mtu 1500 faith0: flags=8000 mtu 1500 gif0: flags=8010 mtu 1280 gif1: flags=8010 mtu 1280 gif2: flags=8010 mtu 1280 gif3: flags=8010 mtu 1280 lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x8 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ppp0: flags=8010 mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552 ipconfig /all output from the Win2K box: Windows 2000 IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : bigdaddy Primary DNS Suffix . . . . . . . : mykitchentable.net Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Broadcast IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : mykitchentable.net Ethernet adapter NetGear: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : NETGEAR FA310TX Fast Ethernet Adapte r (NGRPCI) Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-A0-CC-5D-C3-70 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.3 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 Thanks, Drew > -----Original Message----- > From: Bill Moran [mailto:wmoran@iowna.com] > Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2001 11:32 AM > To: 'Peter'; 'bblack@allstor-sw.co.uk'; > 'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org' > Subject: RE: FreeBSD - Windows '98 performance > > > Both: > Send output from an ifconfig command to the list as well as > details of the > network: it will help others to help you. > > Ben: > Try turning oplocks off in Samba on the FreeBSD box.
