Hi Chris I have an experimental rack for a start-up idea on 100 mbps pipe and the machines is an Dell 450 mhtz and added-in Intel 10/100 Server cards. Have Red/Orange/Green with about 12 servers. The image is 1.2 release and I have had no trouble cranking up to 78 mbps once ..
Another point is that it has VPN and WAN is configured as static IP xxx.xxx.xxx.66/27 and for last 5 months it has never given up. There is no other small biz router that can compete with this solution. And I would put large environments on this considering it has snort implementation. CONGRATS for having a winner on your hands!! I would love to try the new 1.2.1 but there are so many images.... Which one should be tested as most stable.

What speed and duplex is the WAN port showing as? In my experience with metro Ethernet, the endpoints are set inconsistently by providers (at least by AT&T). Some are forced speed/duplex and some are set to auto. In the former case you'll need to force your end, in the latter, leave it to auto. > what I can see. > - the DMZ speed is 40-60Mbps to the Internet and 50-60Mbps to the LAN. > How are you testing? I've pushed more than that through a 500 MHz box, something of the spec you're running with Intel NICs is capable of multi-Gbps. Since it's slow from DMZ to LAN it's likely not WAN port related. Since you're running relatively new hardware, the first thing I'd recommend is trying 1.2.1. The NICs you have in a box that new probably didn't exist at the time the em driver in FreeBSD 6.2 was written, so you may be hitting some glitch there. Ditto for any number of other components in that box. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
