Hello, Last week I set up a machine I intend to become our home server machine. It contains an AsRock motherboard with via kt266 chipset and a built-in network controler that identifies as a via-rhine II.
Downloading to this computer via ftp or smb works ok, with smb performing at 2.5 megabytes/second. However when I try to send something to another computer, I get transfer rates of about 34 kbytes/sec, both with fpt and samba-mounted drives. After an evening of useless attempts, I have installed a second networkcard that uses the fealnx driver, and this one gives me acceptable transfer speeds. Download is marginally faster, and uploads are just as fast as downloads. So: is the built-in controler or its driver simply not good enough, or can I do something to increase the performance. I have tried with- and withou mii with no noticable difference. Thanks, Henk, -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
