Hi, I've got FreeBSD 2.1 installed on a Pentium 120MHz with 16 MB RAM, 1.2 GB disk (IDE) and an IDE CDROM. It's also got a 3Com 3C509 network card. I'm running into a very odd situation where the network is VERY slow to and from our FreeBSD machine. Telnets to the machine appear to be running at about 300 baud and ftp's run about the same speed. We've removed all conflicting device drivers from the kernel and when we boot with a -c, no conflicts show whatsoever. One thing that is odd is that an ifconfig for ep0 shows the following: ep0: flags=8e3<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500 inet 204.250.54.151 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 204.250.54.255 ether 00:a0:24:3e:03:e0 We don't understand the "SIMPLEX" value that is showing up nor do we know how to change it. Can you give some help? Thanks much, Jim Owen jimo@expansion.com
