Hello all! I remember being able to reach 11-12Mbytes/s between two Win95 workstations with NE2000 $10 NIC's installed, connected via BNC cable. I am now able to reach 11-12Mbytes/s between all kinds of Windows 2000/XP machines with all kinds of cheapest 100Mbit ethernet hardware. But I have never ever exceeded 8-9Mbytes/s between a Windows machine and a FreeBSD box - _never_. Be it Samba, different ftp/http servers, different FreeBSD versions (4.x/5.x), with ipfw enabled or disabled, etc., - the speed always hovers around 7-8Mb/s. I know it's not critical, I know I should've upgraded to Gigabit hardware long ago, but is there something wrong? I tried different linux distros, but they all seem to be even slower. Wazzu= p?.. Thanks, Andrew P.
