I checked the hardware. Everything is running 100baseTx-FD (100 mb full duplex). I used several different workstations and found the problem. If I test with a Windows 98 box I get 500Kb. If I test with a Windows 2000 box I get 1Mb, if I test with a Linux box I get 3.5Mb. Windows must have some kind of internet throttling. Yet another reason to use Linux. Thanks Everyone for your help! Travis Crook Visions Beyond
