Ok, I tried it, from rc.conf & from the command line. Didn't make any difference in the performance. Still around isdn speed or slower, unlike the other 2 machines on the network. One is a windows box & one is a slackware server. Not knowing nearly enough about these type of problems, I have tried shutting the other 2 boxes down just to see if they were interfering in some way, but it made no difference. I wish I knew what went on the 1st time I took out IPv6 & recompiled the kernel the other day, because for just awhile, as I said earlier, I was getting really good speeds. ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "Beech Rintoul" <akbeech@anchoragerescue.org> To: "denny white" <dennyboy@cableone.net>; = <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2001 11:50 AM Subject: Re: IPv6 & NIC problems, slow access using linksys pccard and = ed driver > On Sunday 02 December 2001 08:24 am, denny white wrote: > > Had written to the group previously about this problem, then used > > another system for awhile on my laptop instead of FreeBSD in order > > to get some work done.
