The hosts are Pentium III 900Mhz machines with 1GB of memory. How do you check the duplex configuration? On the switch? On the Windows NT machine? -----Original Message----- From: sthaug@nethelp.no [mailto:sthaug@nethelp.no] Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2001 5:39 PM To: francisv@dagupan.com Cc: freebsd-net@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Maximum throughput of Intel Pro 100/S NIC? > I have an Intel Pro 100/S NIC on FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE connected to a Cisco > Catalyst 3500XL switch at 100Mbps, full-duplex but I only get 15.6Mbps > throughput.

Measured several years ago. With FreeBSD you can reach wire speed on 100 Mbps Ethernet with something like a P-166. Have you checked that your duplex configuration is correct?
