We have a 10B2 network. It was getting a little large, so we installed an Asante 10B2 hub. Before the hub installed I could get great transfer rates. Now, I get 16k/sec transfer rates (via ftp). When I turn on hashing in ftp I see it download a chunk, then wait, then download a chunk, then wait. The waits are usually a second long. I am also seeing a collision light on the hub. I'm wondering if this pause is FreeBSD collecting its marbles after a collision; and what could possibly be causing the collision in the first place. *Nothing* was changed on the network (or nodes on the network) other than installing the hub and splitting into segments. Also, this problem only appears with FreeBSD boxes--ftping from a powermac over the hub to a Digial Unix box gets decent transfer rates. -Brandon Gillespie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
