Hi,
I have just installed FreeBSD4.1.1 onto a computer with an Intel Pro
10/100B/100+ Ethernet card connected to a 100Mb Ethernet network. I am
noticing very slow network throughput (like 0.24 Mbps) for this
computer. I'm gauging this by FTP'ing a 1MB file around between
different machines on our local network.
The computer has two NIC cards, but I've only set up/activated one
card. According to 'ifconfig' the card is using 100baseTX. I checked
the router/hub and it is using FAST ethernet for this machine's
connection.
I've noticed that the times returned by 'traceroute' between my
various machines seem the same, so maybe the problem is just with
FTP. 'traceroute -P TCP' (FTP uses TCP, right?) always times out so
I'm not sure. I don't know what other "benchmarks" to try.
Here's some info I hope is pertinent.

I'm not sure where else to look. Thanks for any help.
Hope you have a very nice day, :-)
