This is a ifconfig -a display of my Nic card in the server connected to the Lan. xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.0.10.2 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 10.255.255.255 ether 00:01:02:2f:c3:00 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active FTP statistics show this Nic outputting at 73 KBps while the Nic card in the only machine on the lan is outputting at 19MBps. That means the server Nic card is receiving much much faster that it is sending out. The conclusion is that no matter what the ifconfig says about the server Nic card it is not sending at 100baset full-duplex mode by default. How do I force it into 100baseT mode so FBSD knows about it? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
