I'm experiencing a similar situation using Sharity Light. The Win2K box has a NetGear 100mbps card and my FSBD 4.3 is using an the integrated 100mbps card in my HP E60 NetServer. The HP card is seen as fxp0: <Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet> on boot up. All work is done from the FSBD box. I can receive from the Win2K at sufficient speed but sending to the Win2K is EXTREMELY slow. It took me well over a half hour to send a 50M file to the Win2K box. So I'll be watching this thread closely. :) Drew > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter [mailto:fbsdq@yahoo.com] > Sent: Monday, May 21, 2001 10:02 AM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; unix-wiz@listserv.nodak.edu > Subject: Slow transfers one way, fast going other way-- on local LAN. > > > [sorry about re-post, stupid ctrl+enter==send button, and > added subject..] > [You know it's a bad day when you get it right only the fourth time] > > The LNE100TX saga continues: > > I've lately had problems playing mp3's that are located on my > FreeBSD on my Windows box, via Samba/Netbios [mp3's skip, > while Windows to Windows they play fine] -- So I tried > something else, I played an MP3 from my Windows machine on > the FreeBSD box, it plays fine. > > So I did a Samba file transfer from Windows to FreeBSD, I got > a file transfer of around 800kb/sec [is this kilobits or kilobytes > ?] > Trying to then shove the same exact file back to the windows > machine it took about 5 minutes to transfer 2.5MB. hmmm...
