Dear FreeBSD Users, I recently stumbled upon a very odd problem on a FreeBSD 4.1-R system. Any machine on the LAN that connects to this box via FTP gets around 5kb/sec maximum download speed. Upload speeds approach 150KB/sec on the LAN. Machines outside the LAN get between 100-200KB/sec both directions which is about normal for our net connection. The NIC is a RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX and there's nothing strange about the FreeBSD installation, just your typical default installation with the addition of named and apache. Our LAN runs at 10mbit/sec. I've tried everything I know of: switching all cables, different hub, forcing the NIC into 10baseT mode, etc. In addition, I added another drive to this same machine and installed a Linux distribution and it did not suffer the same problem, so it really seems like FreeBSD is the culprit, perhaps there are problems with the RealTek driver? I really appreciate any help you people can offer. I'd rather not have to run Linux on this machine! Please CC any replies to my personal email address.
