Also, looking at it in greater detail, when I do take the link down, then back up, my transfer speed from Windows XP ---> FreeBSD is roughly half of what it was before the whole problem started happening. This was determined using PerformanceTest on the Windows XP box doing disk tests on a Samba share. No samba settings were changed, and disk space hasn't changed by more than about 500 megs. -Craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
