Hi!
I am running a test install with Red Hat 5.2 (just upgraded from 5.1,
with kernel 2.0.36-2) in a box, and w98 in the other.
The machines are reasonably fast (one PII 266 and one K6-300) and have
plenty of RAM
The netcards are AMD PC-NET32 PCI clones, cabling is 10base-2 (coaxial)
thin ethernet.
No errors reported by /sbin/ifconfig or seen in /proc/net/dev. MTU
defaults at 3584 for eth0
dns works, ping works, ftp works and so on. No connexion errors
anywhere.
samba server is 2.0.0-1
ftp server is 2.4.2b18-2
when I download a file from the win98 machine (with smbclient) I get
over 600 kb/s transfer speed
BUT
when I download a file from the linux box, either thru ftp or thru the
samba server, transfer speeds topple at a miserable 28 kb/s in both
cases.
I have _not_ been fiddling with the new "shaper" tool they provide for
limiting bandwidth.
Any idea about what is going on? I have seen several postings on
asymmetric performance and shortcomings on the linux server side, but no
clear answer came out of that
In advance, thanks for any help!
