Furthermore I forgot to add that I have tried different NIC cards Pn0 (netgear fa310tx, kinstion kne110tx) , rl0 (sms, ark ,soho), fxp0 (intel etherexperss pro+) and xl0(3com35-905b-tx) and all seem to have the same results. I through It was in the MII common code but the fxp0 didn't use the code. I have played with the mtu size. A smaller mtu size below 500 seems the help allot and 256 gives speeds of over 2MS/sec. This make me think the problem is in the TCP/IP controls but I have not had time to go through the mountains of source code. David Greenman wrote: > >Hello, > > I also have an Intel NIC (fxp0).
