Sorry I meant to type "swapping" the hub over. In regards to your situation Even though you have 10/100 you should get much faster speeds than 65KB/s. What kind of Processor does FreeBSD? And have you checked for conflicting IP addresses in your network? ( As I suspect that might be the case) Looking forward to your feedback. dannyh dannyh@idx.com.au On Wed, 08 Mar 2000, you wrote: > I don't have your answer, but here's a related bit of anecdotal information. > > If you're using a switching hub, or a 10/100 hub, the hub's translation > between > 10mbit and 100mbit may be the culprit, although the speeds you're citing are > extremely slow. > > We experienced a similar slowdown after a 10/100 partial migration, with > communications between SCO Openserver and FreeBSD.
