Hi all, First, you can see my network configuration here : [1]http://agora.ulaval.ca/~mgcou1/ I have a FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE server In the topic I say "sometimes" slow because on some servers, (nvidia.com, apple.ca, etc...) Wireless clients can't do more than 200kbps. But on some others servers, wireless clients do 500 kbps... (ftp.ulaval.ca, winzip.com or winrar.de If I can remember correctly) Anyway, The problem is that I have 2 networks behind the firewall/NAT. Wired and wireless. If a wired client ask for a file on a fast server, I can do 500kbps... later on the same server with a wireless client, I just do 200kbps... If I fetch the same file directly from the server, I do 500kbps. But as I said earlier, on some servers, everyone are doing 500kbps on my clients (Wired/less). The bandwidth between the clients and the server is not the problem since I have tested wireless clients on the FreeBSD's ftp (and I get 600kbps down and ~550kbps up). Could this be fragmentation issues of my wireless packets on some routers on the Internet? (I just ask since I don't have a clue!) My wireless router on the diagram is assigned a static ip of 192.168.2.2 and just routes clients (192.168.2.[3-254] to the server and vice-versa). Its MTU is 1500. No wep enabled. I remember that I had the same problem while I created an AP directly on the FreeBSD machine some time ago... Thanks, Mike References 1. http://agora.ulaval.ca/~mgcou1/
