This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------E35FAAA441DBFD061DE5CE6B Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi ! I hope anyone can help me out with this one. I have an ethernet link to a cable modem with a 3com 3c509 card. Under (blasted) windoze NT 4.0 workstation service pack 3 all works really fine. i get speeds up to 150 k / second tops and 30 k / second average. i installed FreeBSD version 2.2.6 (and a little later 2.2.7, but now back to 2.2.6 again due to shared-with-friend CDROM reasons) configured the network exactly like the NT configuration, but connection speeds are EXTREMELY slow, just starting at about 300 b/s (yes BYTE / second) rapidly dropping down to 100, 60, 20, STALLED (with netscape communicator 4.04 port). ping doesn't work at all, all packages are lost, and traceroute gives hop times of over 1900 ms. I bought the crab (TCP/IP network administration) book from O'Reilly's, after digging through Greg Lehey's really comprehensive Complete FreeBSD. I tried hard to figure out what is wrong, but i kind sort it out. I would really like to jumpstart with the net so i can learn the marvelous world of UNIX at much greater speed. If anyone can help me with this i would really jump in the air with joy:) If more configuration stuff is needed to give a solutions, i would be more than happy to provide this. thnx Lasse --------------E35FAAA441DBFD061DE5CE6B Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="lite.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for LITE solutions Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="lite.vcf" begin:vcard n:Lamminen;Lasse x-mozilla-html:TRUE org:LITE solutions adr: version:2.1 email;internet:lamminen@cable.a2000.nl fn:Lamminen, Lasse end:vcard --------------E35FAAA441DBFD061DE5CE6B-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
