Hi Josh, We need more detail to answer your question. This is not a problem that I have seen with Apache or FreeBSD, though there are a few things it might be related to, which you didn't elaborate upon in your message. So, I'm going to ask you a few questions to get on the right track. I will assume here that the images in question are, in fact, being served by your Apache server. If that assumption is incorrect, most of the rest of this message will be useless. Also, I do not know what you mean by "the links associated with the images still work fine". Network performance: How far apart (in hops) are the two machines? What kind of load is everything under? Are connections with other services between the machines fast? (fast = low latency, high bandwidth). Filesystem performance: How large (in bytes) are the images? What kind of filesystem are they being served on? (If NFS, smbfs, etc you might have troubles). User agent performance: Depending on what user agent/platform you're using, maybe it's slowing things down, or rendering images very slowly. Local client performance: What happens when you try a user agent on 127.0.0.1 on the server? You didn't mention testing this, but a quick test could have eliminated roughly half of the variables I've mentioned here, whether it succeeded or failed. > Thanks in advance for your help! > > Josh > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> Network Administrator, Accounts SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E - Saskatoon, SK - S7H 0W2 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-664-1161 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
