Speed issues like this can be caused by half/full duplex mismatching on the ethernet interfaces. I had one the other day that had been running for several months (with occasional reboots without any problems), and then after the last reboot, the auto-negotiation failed between the switch and the fxp card -- the switch was running 100-half, and the fxp card was running 100-full... Result? Estimated 27 hours to transfer a 1.3gig file. Rebooted & forced the parameters on both switch & fxp to 100-full, and the transfer took no time at all. You may want to try doing some large transfers between the FBSD<->Windows box and FBSD<->OutsideWorld to see what happens. If this is your problem, one or both of these will be cripplingly slow. mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
