I have a few machines networked. One is running FreeBSD 4.1 stable circa July 17th (gateway to the net with two 3Com 3c509b cards) and the other is a Win98 machine with a Linksys LNE100TX card. When uploading files to the FreeBSD machine things go really fast (roughly 5Mb/s, which isn't bad). However when I download from the FreeBSD, transfer rates go way down (barely above 1Mb/s) Plus, anything coming from the 'net just pretty much crawls to a halt when I ftp internally. At first I thought this was caused by collisions (since transfer usually stopped when there was a collision). However, I've seen instances where transfer just goes on even with collisions so I'm not sure what kind of an impact this would have. I know that the drivers for 3c509 cards aren't completely solid, but I don't think that explains the behaviour I'm seeing. Would anyone know what could be causing this kind of behaviour? Thanks!
