Re: lan bandwidth issue
I think we have the same issue Working on this problem for months now and I can't find the problem. I also used the FreeBSD as a NATd server for my ADSL(tun0) connection. I have some other server demons running, but switching them off gives no positive effect on the upload speed (average it's 10 times slower than down). When I disconnect the Internet the problem isn't solved, so it's not a lookup loop. Problem is not solved by setting all NIC's to 10 or half duplex. This problem accurse with NFS, Samba and FTP so it's not a configuration of these demons. Please replace the Reltek card, because a realtek chip-set based NIC will over preform on a FreeBSD box, courses connection losses and wrong media detections. However I have exactly the same problem using a 3Com for my LAN connection: # ifconfig xl0 xl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 options=3 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:04:75:98:d6:bd media: Ethernet 100baseTX status: active Have tested my HDD speed but this is good (12MB/Sec read and 9MB/Sec write, random).

Sorry, I can't resist this either. I work for VOL DSL tech support and have seen many many problems with the Realtek 8139 EVEN with Windoze.

Re: lan bandwidth issue
r10 looks good, but r11 looks real bad. If it is a driver issue see if there are some settings you can tweak in the driver, or update it, or make sure it is using the right one. You could try a line like "ifconfig_r11 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" in the rc.conf file. I don't know if this will work, I got it from http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/154/2002/4/0/8532322/ which says put it in rc.network? I don't see rc.network on my machince. By the way most network products rate speed in bits/sec, not bytes/sec which I see a lot of apps use to rate connection or dl speed. So it look like r11 is at 10mbits/sec = 1.25mbytes/sec. Like Alex said samba is slow, so try another protocal. To test it try installing some network testing software from ports to test your network speed, or check pcpitstop.com for an internet speed test. You can check the man pages like $man rc.conf, or check the default configs on your hard drive. Finnally I would like to say that the mtu value can have a big impact on speed. On win98 the default is really small for dailup, or something like that, so something I do to get a good speed boost is up the size of the mtu. Check http://cable-dsl.home.att.net/ for details.

Older motherboards often have ultra33 disk controllers etc etc. how many processes are writing to and reading from the same disk (s) ? One lesson I learnt was that you cannot underestimate the value of a good NIC. I don't want to start any religious wars but I had used realtek based NICs for the longest time and when I changed to 3Com I noticed a full 2Mbps increase in speed on the same hardware. Having said all of that when copying a large file - say 700mb I can copy from windows to FBSD (both using 3Com) via a samba share and it takes about 6mins per file, the same file between FBSD and FBSD via another FBSD router takes only 2 2.5 mins over rsync so as Alex mentioned perhaps the way you are transferring files has something to do with it.

Check the crossover does not have the wires out of phase. You can sometimes get away with it at 10mb but not at 100mb. Try another cable or locking the cards down to 10mb to see if that helps. If it works at 10mb replug your cable.

lan bandwidth issue
This has gotta be a software issue... it seems logically impossible for it to be otherwise. I have my windows box running off a nat on my fbsd box, it transmits to my isp at a max of about 160k down 70k up. Transfering files between the two boxes can be done at a max of 1.6M down and 130k up. Hense its physcially impossible for it to be a hardware problem. This is all quite annoying as both boxes are connected by http://www.startech.com/ststore/itemdetail.cfm?tab=b&ProductID=ST100S&topbar=topbara.htm 10/100 nics and a 50' crossover cable. Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this issue and how it could possibly be resolved? Here is the output from ifconfig on the bsd box: rl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::250:fcff:fe71:a11b%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:50:fc:71:a1:1b media: Ethernet 100baseTX status: active rl1: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::250:bfff:fe17:63a2%rl1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 142.59.160.131 netmask 0xf800 broadcast 142.59.167.255 ether 00:50:bf:17:63:a2 media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active lp0: flags=8810 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 ppp0: flags=8010 mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552 faith0: flags=8002 mtu 1500 And here is the output from ipconfig /all on the the win box: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : FAMILY Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-50-FC-71-A1-31 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.2 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 209.115.131.51 209.115.152.150 216.123.198.243 209.115.152.130 Thanks, ryan _ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.msn.com%2f%3fpage%3dmisc%2fspecialoffers%26pgmarket%3den-ca ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
