Happened to me once needed to set the the speed of the nic card in
rc.conf can not remember how to do it but it is in the man rc.conf page
and solved my similar problem. Looks something like this if i can recall
ifconfig_xl0=inet 209.155.173.22 something about manually setting the
speed and mode of the card
for me it had to do with the card not negotiating it parameters properly
and i had to beat it into submission with manual overrides. glanced
through the rc.conf man page but it is to long for me deal with right
now the setting are in there somewhere.

I'm seeing some weird network performance I don't understand.
If I sit at an NT box and using a web browser, go through my fbsd 4.10
firewall to someplace out in the world through a slow dsl connection,
I get download speeds of 20KB - 45KB/sec, pretty much the max my DSL
connection can deliver.
The nt box is connected to the fbsd box over a 10Mb/sec full duplex
crossover cable for test purposes.
If I ftp (shell window) or use a browser to ftp from the fbsd box
itself, I see a max speed of something like 8KB/sec.
This makes absolutely no sense to me, given the relative speeds of the
network connections, which I would have thought was the limiting
factor.
The fbsd box is a p200, 128M, single 7200rpm 9.4ms seagate ultra scsi
drive, 10MB/sec negotiated xfr rate. Data used for testing was ~8MB
file in /var partition, don't know how badly fragmented.
Is passing packets through the firewall and ipfw rules that much
faster than an ftp access?
Ideas for where to look for what's slowing things down?
Thanks,
Gary
