Hello, I know this isn't technically a FreeBSD issue, but I was hoping someone here could give me some pointers or maybe a web site to look at. I have a small LAN, cat5 with 2 hubs. 1 FreeBSD machine, w/ Samba acting as a file server. All the rest are some flavor of Windoze. The file transfer speed (I was looking in trafshow) to one of the win machines was pathetic, it was getting about 8kb/sec. The rest of the machines perform well on the network. My problem is, I don't know where to start, I don't know network troubleshooting that well. If the FreeBSD machine works well with the others, can it still be a problem with the FBSD machine? (probably not but I'm asking). I thought to try switching the hub the win machine was sitting on, didn't help. I know it could be the cable, I'll try switching that tonight. I also could try the card, granted that was working properly at some time in the past. Does anyone out there have any suggestions for things I can try or places I can look to for help?
