I spent much of this afternoon enabling NFS between my son's PC (Mandrak 8.0,
K6-2-500, 128MB RAM, kernel 2.4.3-mdk) and mine (Caldera 3.1, Athlon 950,
384MB RAM, kernel 2.4.9) and performance is slow, at best. We have 10 Megabit
ethernet with only the 2 PCs and our gateway router (freesco -- connected to
@Home) connected to a 4 port hub.
>From his PC, he can mount the NFS shares and navigate the direcotries, even
play some of the MP3s I have on my box. Directory navigation with Konqueror
is WAY slow, though, and if he tries to play one of the .WAVs I have,
performance is choppy at best. Is this the kind of performance that I should
expect on 10Mb ethernet or is it indicative of another problem?
Additionally, my internet performance has been poor over the past day or
2 (I downloaded Caldera's supplemental CD ISO last night at 30MB/sec where I
was getting download speeds in the high 100's not too very long ago), but my
son seems to think his hasn't been bad - no hard numbers from him, though).
It's possible my network card is going up (it's about 2 years old, SMC Ultra
32 ISA card).
Any recommendations on troubleshooting network performance?
Thanks,
Tim
