It connects to another 905B over crossover cable to my windows machine. When doing ftp transfers between the 2 internal boxes performances is poor at the best, 202kB/sec. I've forced both nics to 100baseTX full-duplex but to no avail, the speed doesn't differ at all from 10baseT/UTP half-duplex or any combination there of. I'm running NAT with rl0 as the natd_interface. Can anyone give me some hints as to what to look for?
