(postfix is MTA) the machine runs a apache, qpopper, postfix, ftp, bind9 for a small LAN all on the same segment. dmesg and messages shows no errors. netstat -bi gives Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Ibytes Opkts Oerrs Obytes Coll tx0 1500 <Link#1> 00:e0:29:24:17:80 3171595 552 465267774 4214806 0 720458428 0 yeah, we don't like the Ierrs of 552. change the nic? change the driver? or is this the "Reno" tcp/ip problem? The new FBSD box replaces a BSDi on older hardware, with everybody on the LAN now noting that ftp of big files to and mail with big attachments to the new FBSD box are dramatically slower than the BSDi box. Anybody have any idea how to speed up / fix the transfers to the fbsd box? thanks Len www.menandmice.com/DNS-training : DNS Training BIND8NT.MEIway.com : ISC BIND for NT4 & W2K IMGate.MEIway.com : Build free, hi-perf, anti-abuse mail gateways To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
