Hello: We are running a FreeBSD box on a Novell Network with NT Clients on a intranet. After about 4 months without any problems - performance wise, all of a sudden the box is very slow to react. A reinstall of the os and web server did not help nor did running a separate box with the 2.2.5 and 2.2.6 release. Same effect. Reaction to an initial telnet session is very slow but once in, reactions are immediate. The same with the web server. If we go to the web site, it is slow to respond, then once it is in, reacts very quickly but then sputters out again after a bit and is very slow somtimes as long as 1 minute to respond. Now at first we thought maybe somthing on the box may have blown up... But after reinstalls, replicating on other machines, replacement of nic card etc. It has continued to operate the same.. slow. I have come to the conclusion it is somthing on our internal network but havnt a clue where else to look... We have tried different gateways, different nic cards, differnet ip addresses, different network segments... etc.. all to no avail.. the only thing that does work is when I put it on a different network or outside the firewall. The next thing we did was enable a box and locate it outside the firewall. Now if we go to this box from inside the network, it responds fine - very fast and responds almost immediately. Does anyone have any clues as to where else we can look or what else we may try. We are not getting any complaints from anyone who is surfing the net, accessing the AS400 or any of the file servers. So it appears to be somthing between the network and my FreeBSD box. Any help would be appreciated on what we may want to try.
