Hello All! i've set up two rh9 linux boxes with Linksys gigabit cards connected via a 1 meter UTP CAT5 crossover cable...but the best speed/bandwidth i could get out of them was 272Mbps(according to iperf). i'm thinking that i need to tweak the TCP/IP MTU settings to get better performance, i.e. making it larger than 1500.
However, whenever i try setting it to >1500, via ifconfig or ip net link set eth1 mtu 2000, i always get an "invalid argument" error. There seems to be a hard limit of 1500 set somewhere(i first noticed this when setting the MTU on iperf didn't work)...problem is, i don't know where B). Any suggestions? i plan to use the gigabit link for backing up data from one pc to the backup pc. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online.
