Hello;

I have a FreeBSD 2.1R box with a 3Com card in it.  When I ping from it or to it, I get pathetic ping times, such as 549.06.  When I ping from another FreeBSD box to any other computer I get ping times of about 0.880.

What would cause one of my boxes to ping so slowly?  When I telnet from it to another host, it is also very slow.  Both FreeBSD boxes are on the same ethernet, one works fine, while the other is horribly slow.  I've checked the calbes, etc. they seem to work fine.

Thanks,
BLair
