Running FreeBSD 2.2.6 Release on a Pentium 133 with 32 megs of ram and a 10Mbs Etherlink III card. We have about 20 users on the network with two NT machines and a bunch of Windows 95/98 machines. I set up the Winblows machines to point at 10.0.0.3 (the DNS, WEB, TELNET, FTP server) for name service. I can telnet to unix.foo.com but it takes forever to actually get everything going it seems. Even FTP is really slow. It will show that it's connected but takes for ever for any data to be sent. Anyone have any idea what could be slowing it down? What bottle necks could there be? Could it be hardware or software? Configuration file that I may have missed? Any help would be great!!
