The boggling part of that is.. it worked (more or less) fine with Linux. Occasionally slow-down on write, but other than that it was quite speedy, for reading, I couldn't usually tell the difference between local and nfs. >(one presumes our cable-plant and any routers are in good shape?) Should be, worked fine before, different machine, same card same cables, etc.. >Hmm.... > >What DOES happen if you aliase-up a second IP on your NIC and run >'hardware-less' test traffic that doesn't even leave the box? Good idea! Tried it, speed was about what I expected ~7mb / sec over NFS. (Of course.. this right away, I don't know if it would degrade over time) Someone suggested changing the duplex settings on the other side, I know it's running full duplex on DragonFlyBSD, but.. I don't know how to even find out linux side. I'll have to research that I guess. Regarding NFS lockups, I can change them to be TCP, I've tried both no difference. The lights show 100mbs if that means anything. :-) Jamie -- http://www.geniegate.com Custom web programming [EMAIL PROTECTED] (rot13) User Management Solutions
