Hi Jed, we have had perhaps not exactly the same problem with two soekris net5501-70 boxes with pfSense installed as OS on them and 4 brand new windows 7 based pc´s,
but also like the same symptoms as explained by Brandan. In our case the windows 7 firewall in combination with the turn off TCP (RFC1323) was fixing the problem. The RFC1323 was also more pointed on the 7 MBit throughput. Sure I must say OpenBSD is not pfSense, but it is also a BSD based system and the tryout with a short shell order would not steel so many of his time.

Unless there is a proxy running on the 5501, its RFC1323 settings won't change things. But I agree with this, and the previous poster, that a likely "cause" >is Win7 using RFC1323 and other TCP optimizations (e.g. SACK) for more efficient transfers, so the 5501 is working harder. __________ Hinweis von ESET NOD32 Antivirus, Signaturdatenbank-Version 6707 (20111213) __________ E-Mail wurde geprüft mit ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
