Hi Ed, What version of FreeBSD are you running ? I'm running the i386 4.11 stable release What are you hardware specs? Gigabyte K8VM800M MB, 512 DDR 400 Memory, AMD Sempron Socket 754 2600+, 3com managed NIC (uses xl0 driver) What version of windows is running on your clients? Win XP SP2 do you use dynamic dns and or wins? Ok.. i'm not too clued up with this response, but i have nothing fancy going on here - std settings (..let me know if you need more info!) Thanks for your help, Regards, Gareth On Apr 7, 2005 2:38 AM, Ed Stover <estover@nativenerds.com> wrote: > I don't see any thing that would cause the slowness you described > earlier.
