I've got a 486/33 running FreeBSD 2.0.5, with a 3Com 3C509 Ethernet card. I'm connected to a 10MBit ethernet segment. I'm getting absolutely pitiful network performance. Ping times to my other desktop machine, a Windows NT box, on the same segment, are averaging about 1000ms. I can ping a SparcStation on a different segment with roughly the same response times. Ping times from my NT box to the Sparc are under 10ms. I've recompiled the kernal removing the SLIP/PPP stuff, and the drivers for devices I don't have, but that failed to improve performance any. If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it. Jeremy Noetzelman jeremyn@asymetrix.com
