I have a weird problem with my new network. I gave my new FreeBSD 4.7R
server this IP: 192.168.79.128. Ifconfig reports it as follows:
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.79.128 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.79.255
inet6 fe80::250:fcff:fe85:796a%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
ether 00:50:fc:85:79:6a
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
When I download over the LAN, to IP: 192.168.79.3 -- my XP-machine, to be
precise -- I get, over an SSHD connection, around 2000K per second. I can
live with that. :)
But when I upload (to 192.168.79.128, via the same SSHD connection), it only
goes at a speed of around 32K (sic!) per second. I am quite baffled by this.
Everything works fine, except about 600 times too slow.
Is this something that sounds familiar to someone? Asking several "wiz"-ky
friends of mine, they suggested I might drop to half-duplex, because
full-duplex might give problems. I cannot see exactly how this could be the
case; but then again, I have not solved the problem either, so I am
obviously missing something. :)
If the full-duplex might be related, how would I set it to half-duplex? Or
if someone has another useful suggestion, I'd gladly hear about it.
Thanks!
