I've been having some very poor FTP transfer perfromance on my home LAN. (See below for systems info) When I upload from rook (client) to mason (server), I get 2.1MBps. That's not a problem, I consider it pretty decent performance given the uploading machine runs Windows 98. When I download from mason to rook, however, I only get ~9.3KBps. The test file was an ~18.3MB Win32 SFX install (a small program with a large body of compressed data attached). Disk space is limited on mason, so I couldn't try a much larger file. Downloads from internet FTP sites to rook or mason give me upwards of 75KBps. I had a friend download the test file from mason over the internet and he got ~28KBps. Any ideas why local downloading from mason would be so slow? Info: mason: CPU: AMD k5-100 Mainboard: MTI R533, 430VX chipset OS: 3.1-RELEASE NICs: Two Intel EtherExpress Pro's uname -a: FreeBSD mason.home.lan 3.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE #0: Sat Jul 24 00:49:58 P DT 1999 noc@mason.home.lan:/usr/src/sys/compile/MASON i386 I haven't done anything to optimize things other than building a custom kernel. Network services daemons are telnet, sendmail, and ftp. Telnet and sendmail are seldom used. The FTP server is the stock ftpd "Version 6.00", started from rc.local as "/usr/libexec/ftpd -lAD" mason also serves as the gateway for my LAN, running natd and ipfw. rook: CPU: Pentium II 350Mhz (OCed to 361MHz) Mainboard: Asus P2B-S M/B, 440BX chipset OS: Windows 98 (4.10.1998 "First Edition") NIC: 3c905B-TX The two machines are connected directly by a ~10-foot crossover Cat5 cable in 100mbps mode, not sure about the duplex mode. dmesg only gives me hardware resources and MAC addresses.
