I have a small network at home and I noticed something curious... When I try to copy from one computer to another (the transfer is made through the server - without a switch), the bandwidth is very low, about 2Mb/s. Does anyone know why ? Another thing is that the bandwidth from the server or from one of the "home" computers to the "outside" LAN is very low too, about 700Kb/s up to 1.5Mb/s. Does anyone know why is that ? Here is what ifconfig shows me : ------------------------------------- [ifconfig] xl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 options=8 inet 172.17.53.39 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 172.17.255.255 inet 195.225.67.97 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 195.225.67.111 ether 00:10:4b:24:5f:f0 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active fxp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 options=8 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:d0:b7:0b:57:e4 media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier fxp1: flags=8843 mtu 1500 options=8 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:d0:b7:2b:9e:9d media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active plip0: flags=108810 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ------------------------------------- An the machine info... ------------------------------------- [uname -a] FreeBSD sergiu-it.tarnita.net 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #1: Mon Apr 4 19:08:47 EEST 2005 root@sergiu-it.tarnita.net:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/server i386 ------------------------------------- xl0 is the NIC connected to the "outside world", fxp0 and fxp1 are connected to two computers that I have in separate rooms at home. I don't know if it's important, but I use ipfw and natd to give access to "home" computers to the "outise world". So, if anybody have any ideea... I'd like to hear it ;-) Thanks ! -- -- Sergiu - IT -- http://www.sergiu-it.home.ro/ http://vegetarieni.3xforum.ro/ Publicitate: --------------------------------------------------------------- Posteaza gratuit anunturi de orice dimensiune si ai audienta de sute de mii, lunar.
