[-- Attachment #1 --] Holy crap did this discussion get WAY off topic. Bhishan asked for some help figuring out why his BSD box is downloading at 1/10th of the speed of his windows box. Now that we've established that it's kiloBYTES on both ends, how about we help Bhishan figure out why it's so much slower. ----- 1. I would personally check the MTU setting (which can be checked with ifconfig on BSD) and see if it matches that of the Win box. You will need to find out how to check that on windows. 2. Make sure the network card that is plugging into the cable modem is explicitly set to 10BaseT half-duplex. If it's configuring to full duplex or 100BaseTX you may see this problem. 3. Disable NAT completely and see if it makes any difference, so we can eliminate NAT as a possible cause. Also, what version of FreeBSD are you running? -- Chris -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Bhishan Hemrajani Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2000 6:25 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: cable download varies w/FreeBSD I am having a little problem with download speeds in FreeBSD. I currently have cable with COX@HOME. I am running my machine as a nat server in order for the computer's on my network to access the internet. However, when I download a file through nat, the speed varies from where I download the file directly with the cable modem. When I download through nat, the speed is about 15-30kb/sec. But, when I hook the cable modem up to one of the windows computers I get about 150-300kb/sec. At first I thought nat must be slow, but when I download a file on the nat machine, it is still around the same speed. Is there a reason for this? The exact file I am trying to download is: http://www.juston.com/vfs/pview.cgi/pretender/path/WinOnCD.rar Thank you. --bhishan [-- Attachment #2 --] 0 *H 01 0 + 0 *H 00 ]0 *H 01 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Durbanville10 U Thawte1 0U Certificate Services1(0&U Personal Freemail RSA 1999.9.160 000404110825Z 010404110825Z0D1 0 UThawte Freemail Member1!0 *H cjm2@earthling.net00 *H 0 eǍ. s2#^ byHXMAZ^yDWX#J#m霰 pZd QmVE:hֽܳ=RO_ `kI?g|R1 P0N0 U 0cjm2@earthling.net0 U 0 0 U #0`fUXF a#Ì0 *H ƈ~ᱭKؼc@չ?]v͕( ;}>Yp tu \&ߩVJ9ulwR }qc F zw3Rb Zt:kӠ00} 0 *H 01 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Cape Town10U Thawte Consulting1(0&U Certification Services Division1$0"UThawte Personal Freemail CA1+0) *H personal-freemail@thawte.com0 990916140140Z 010915140140Z01 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Durbanville10 U Thawte1 0U Certificate Services1(0&U Personal Freemail RSA 1999.9.1600 *H 0 iZ z]!#rLK~r$BRW{azr98e^eyvL>hpu t ,O 1ArƦ]D.Mօ>lx~@эWs0FO 7050U 0 0 U #0rIs4U vr~wƲ0 *H kY1rr`HU{gapm¥7؝(V\uoƑlfq|ko!6- -mƃRt\~ orzg,ks n Νc) ~U0-0 0 *H 01 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Cape Town10U Thawte Consulting1(0&U Certification Services Division1$0"UThawte Personal Freemail CA1+0) *H personal-freemail@thawte.com0 960101000000Z 201231235959Z01 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Cape Town10U Thawte Consulting1(0&U Certification Services Division1$0"UThawte Personal Freemail CA1+0) *H personal-freemail@thawte.com00 *H 0 id[qG Qr^}- {߅%u(t:B,c'{K~ ݹΖdnD|Mq @8 x^^v]nz| KU)&j8$jDZڣyZ 00U 00 *H ~Ngb*M`o`Xa&R5\0J bB#dG)ߝ^l`q\yn G (|_#& sC%/u Qkw10001 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Durbanville10 U Thawte1 0U Certificate Services1(0&U Personal Freemail RSA 1999.9.16]0 + K0 *H 1 *H 0 *H 1 000423153722Z0# *H 1=m Zn@XgP70< *H 1/0-0+0 *H (0+0 *H 0 +71001 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Durbanville10 U Thawte1 0U Certificate Services1(0&U Personal Freemail RSA 1999.9.16]0 *H k9Ii? /3Bv64@b{&R"7d82T \<`- ս,7z⏳YC0"oUXz$|[G}`B}+y
