Hello,

I am adding a laptop with win95-OSR2 to my server, running FreeBSD  
2.2-Stable. Getting data from the server to the laptop, for example with ftp,  
works just fine: 400 KB/s. Putting data from the laptop on the server gives  
excessive ierrs: Ipkts:Ierrs is about 25%. I get a throughput of only 8 KB/s.

The laptop runs Win95-OSR2, and has a Dynalink 1433QVC combined  
ethernet/modem pcmcia card.

The server is a Pentium-166, 64 MB ram, and an SMC ethernet card:
de0 <Digital 21041 Ethernet> rev 17 int a irq 11 on pci0:9
de0: 21041 [10Mb/s] pass 1.1
de0: address 00:00:c0:1f:54:e8

There is also a NeXT on the network. Ftp-ing from the laptop to the NeXT  
works fine. No Ierrs at all. Ftp-ing from the NeXT to the FreeBSD machine  
works fine too.

There's coax between all the machines. I tried the laptop at home and at the  
office where I have a similar FreeBSD machine. Same results. At the office  
there are a bunch of other pc's with win95 on the net that all work fine.

Any ideas? What else can I check?

Many thanks,
Ben
