I have 3 computers: a - freebsd 2.2.7 /NE3000 NIC b - Win98 /NE3000 NIC (same as above) c - Win98 /Old Intel 8/16 (freebsd recognizes it as an AT&T Starlan) I have a crossover cable that I just switch between different computer to transfer files/connect to the internet a<->b average transfer speed 10k/sec with FTP a<->c average transfer speed 750k/sec with FTP Why would it be so slow between the same EXACT NICs that are newer?
