I've got one FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE machine, an NT 4 machine, and a Win98
machine.  The BSD serves as a web/ftp/mail server.  All have NetGear
100BaseT cards and are connected through a DLink 10/100Mb hub ("with switch"
e.g. one of those that makes a 100mb and 10mb segments and switches between
them).

Running an FTP client on either the Win98 machine or the NT machine, sending
files *to* the BSD machine goes full speed.  However, getting files *from*
the BSD ftpd runs at less than 10 kbytes/sec.  Monstrous!  (And the blinky
lights on the hub are barely going.)

The web server seems to have the same problem, e.g. if I put the same files
in a www directory and try to download them with the browser things go about
the same painful speed.

Transfers between Windows machines seem normal (even copies through the 10mb
segment are a lot faster).

Any suggestions profoundly appreciated.

                    ...Craig
