If you've got a duplex mismatch, it's because the switch isn't doing its own autosensing properly. Try forcing the switch to the same settings as those to which you forced the NIC, if you can. If you can't (which I would expect in a device at such a low price), then set different settings on the NIC, or even try letting the card autosense too. Unfortunately, autosensing has always had a few interoperability problems, although they are *much* less common than they were five years ago. [Five years ago was the last time I worked on it myself...] Good luck. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Throttled ethernet connection
Hi, I'm running FreeBSD 4.8-Stable with ipfw, dummynet and ipsec enabled in the kernel but bypassed via config/not being used for the moment. I'm using this machine as a router between my local network and a WAN, with a 3com905c-tx ethernet card and an Avaya 802.11b wifi card. I've just built this machine over the past two or three days and have encountered a problem with the ethernet side of the network. When i upload or download from the machine with proftpd or apache over the ethernet network (100mbit switched) im being limited to 50K/sec or less. If i start two ftp downloads or have an ftp and httpd download going, the 50K/sec is divided between the two connections, slowing both to about 25K/sec. I can transfer fine over the 802.11b network card, with no throttling appearing (upload/download rates of ~ 500K/sec). I can ftp over the WAN - through this router machine - and download or upload from the WAN at a fine speed with no apparent throttling appearing (again ~500K/sec achieved), which rules out damage to the cabling etc. Im completly stumped as to whats causing this, any help would be appreciated.
