Hmm...I tried
"ifconfig rl0 mediaopt half-duplex" and i get this message

ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured

by the way, transfers outbound from the BSD box seem to be about the =
right speed, but inbound transfers are very slow.  Hadn't noticed this =
before because most of the time I am sending files to the BSD box.

Thanks for any help

  Your rl0 interface is connected to a 10bt hub.  Your rl0 interface
  is configured for full duplex.  This is a no-no.  Configure rl0 to
  half duplex and all should be well.

    Subject: Very slow LAN transfers


    I have my FreeBSD box set up as my gateway to the internet, as =
192.168.0.1.  Behind it are two windows machines, 192.168.0.2 and =
192.168.0.3.  When transfering between the gateway and either windows =
machine, speeds are excruciatingly slow, in the neighborhood of =
80KB/sec.  When transferring between the two windows machines i can =
reach around 1.5MB/sec.
    I have an NE2000 compatible card connected to the internet and a =
Realtek 8139 based card on the LAN.  The LAN is running off a 10BT hub.  =
Here's a printout of ifconfig:
    rl0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
            inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
            ether 00:48:54:88:62:bd

            inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
