Hello all, I'm a newbie at FreeBSD and I'm having some trouble with my connections speeds at home using FreeBSD 4.3 STABLE. They are crawling ... with Linux I can get transfer speeds of about=20 85 Kbytes/sec, with FBSD I get about5 Kbytes/sec. After searching the mailing list archive I track down the problem. It seems to be related to the poor quality of my NIC. The people who had this problem before me solved it by adding the = following line to rc.conf : ifconfig_rl0=3D"inet <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <NETMASK> media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex up" This forces full-duplex and apparently it makes things works as they are supposed to. However my IP address is given to me by my ISP (trough DHCP) so it is different each time I boot the PC. Is there some kind of workaround that I can do to solve this problem. Thanks in advance, Luis Neves To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
