So, you're running the attempts from the WinXP box.., Have you checked the winxp QOS settings for sane configs? I've been aware that WinXP has some sort of automatic qos in place so as to optimize network connections as miht be required for various apps. > > > What's between the two boxes involved in the tests? > > A DrayTek Vigor 2600 ADSL modem/router with standard CAT5 UTP cables between > them. > > > What's the card configs on the WinXP box? > > The network card on the XP-machine looks like this: > > Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : > Description . . . . . . : Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC > Physical Address. . . : 00-50-FA-81-5B-AC > Dhcp Enabled. . . . . : No > IP Address. . . . . . . : 192.168.79.3 > Subnet Mask . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 > Default Gateway . . . : > > I tested it setting both its speed to "Auto-detect", and any combination of > half/full duplex (both 10/100). > > > You knew it was coming.., what's the interface config on the network > > device on the lan? > > I set the LAN IP Network Configuration to use 192.168.79.1 as default > gateway (subnet 255.255.255.0).

You would get the complete conversation between both boxes, and be able to see what is actually happening at the packet level. Another important test is to attempt the transfers (sftp / ftp) to and from FreeBSD and *another* box, preferably, non-WinXP. Good luck.
