Apparently Windows and Linux boxes are able to use ICS at full thruput (60 kbyte/sec and up) but my FreeBSD boxes can only get up to 25 or so steady-state, with an initial surge at the start. I've confirmed the behavior on two different FreeBSD systems (4.2-RELEASE and 4.3-RELEASE). The 4.2 box is triple boot, and both WinME and Linux on that system achieve full thruput. Presumably there's some difference in the packet flow among the platforms, anyone run into this problem before? - Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
