If this is the case it's likely that someone else is also using most of the bandwidth on that connection. Ask your ISP if it's contended. The connection not shared. I will upgrade the OS as suggested by Stuart, and will get back to the list. Raghavendra. -- N.

Re: Bandwidth loss
I had a similar problem a month or so back, I have a 4 Mb/s cable connection, and I could only get about 200 Kb/s. I switched my nics out, changed the tcp receive window size, etc, but nothing worked. I was running 3.6, so I installed a fresh 3.7 snapshot, and haven't had a problem since. So, if 3.6 doesn't work, wait until 3.7-release hits the mirrors, or grab a snapshot (which is technically the next release) and see if it improves. On 5/14/05, N.

It actually wasn't that bad, everyone got the day off and there were barbeques all around.

Re: Bandwidth loss
Further, since the switch is manageable, it has some ability to report port status. Odds-on that there is a disagreement on FULL/HALF-DUPLEX between the switch and the network card. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stuart Henderson Sent: Friday, May 13, 2005 5:01 AM To: N.

You provide no information about the hardware. If the problem still exists after upgrading, send a complete dmesg, output of 'ifconfig -a', output of 'netstat -in' after the box has carried some traffic, and information about what media type the switch is using for the port (full/half-duplex etc).
