I'm having the same problem using Sharity Light and have thus, been watching
this thread.
My Win2K box has a NetGear 100mbps card and my FSBD 4.3 is using an the
integrated 100mbps card in my HP E60 NetServer. The HP card is seen as
fxp0: <Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet> on boot up. All work is done from
the FSBD box. I can receive from the Win2K at sufficient speed but sending
to the Win2K is EXTREMELY slow. It took me well over a half hour to send a
50M file to the Win2K box.
My network configuration is as follows:
ISP <-> 3Com 812 ADSL Router <-> TrendNet 10/100 Switch <-> Win2K and FBSD.
The router is also my DNS server and does NAT for my internal network.
ifconfig output:
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
