Can access Internet & email & local area network including scp but my download speeds on the Internet are really slow. Originally, when I installed freebsd on the laptop, it had my Linksys 10/100 pccard running on ed1. I was told that was wrong, so I went into the kernel config & changed to ed0 under PCI Ethernet NICs & recompiled the kernel. Also, when it was still using ed1, it didn't work right when I was using the following firewall rules: add 00400 allow udp from 24.116.0.81 to any in recv ed1 add 00401 allow udp from 24.116.0.201 to any in recv ed1 but now the firewall rules work fine with ed1 changed to ed0. Since making the change to ed0, all of the above ability to access is still the same. Unfortunately, the bad speed is still the same too. Below are portions of my dmesg output & ifconfig ed0: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- ed0 at port 0x300-0x31f irq 3 slot 0 on pccard0 ed0: address 00:e0:98:8a:a1:fc, type Linksys (16 bit) ed0: DAD detected duplicate IPv6 address fe80:000a::02e0:98ff:fe8a:a1fc:1 NS, 0 NA ed0: DAD complete for fe80:000a::02e0:98ff:fe8a:a1fc - duplicate found ed0: manual intervention required ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- ed0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::2e0:98ff:fe8a:a1fc%ed0 prefixlen 64 duplicated scopeid 0xa inet 192.168.1.100 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:e0:98:8a:a1:fc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- All 3 of my computers are going to a Netgear hub, on to a Linksys router/firewall box, & then to the cable modem. Neither the windows machine or the slackware linux box have any Internet speed problems. Can someone help me decypher the above messages & maybe point me in the right direction as to what to read to solve this problem? I was wondering if the duplex was wrong on the pccard, that is maybe only running at half-duplex, but then I read in one of the news groups that if you're running through a hub, that's the way it has to be anyway.
