I'm having a problem with it's ethernet connectivity. Anytime I telnet to/from the machine, or ftp, or XDM, I have intermittent lag. Every few seconds my X will freeze for a couple seconds. My FTP transfers are between 6KB-100KB/sec to another 100 megFD host (my 227R is 100megFD). To another 10 meg HD i've seen 600KB/sec (a linux box).. If I telnet to another machine and cat a large file, it spews out quickly, pauses a second or two, continues, and repeats. It's horrible. I've tried connecting the machine to a different 100 meg switch, no help. I've tried a different cable. I even tried a DEC DE450 (10 megHD) card. Same problem. Heck, i tried a 226R kernel. I've rearranged all the expansion cards. Oddly enough, ping -f shows no loss, and tcpblast works well (10MB/s) too. I have no idea what's going on. I'm pulling my hair out. Help! :) -= Ben To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
