X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2007 21:23:13 -0000 I'm looking for some suggestions on where to start troubleshooting performance issues on a Intel PRO 1000 card. It's installed in a box with the following configuration: FreeBSD 6.1 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2100+ (1741.42-MHz 686-class CPU) Dell CERC SATA RAID 2 The file transfer(ftp/smb/scp) speeds from/to this machine do not appear to go above 10Mb. The other machine doing the transfers has similar specs(same Ethernet Card) but is a Windows XP box. I've tried replacing the switch with a crossover cable between the machines and the same speed persists. Any suggestions on where to start and what tools should I use to do the benchmarks? Thanks, Sally
