Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG alright, I posted to this mailing list about my network lag problem some time ago. I recently met up with someone on irc from the efnet #freebsdhelp channel who experienced the exact same behavior from windows2000. he explained the problem to me as such: { windows 2000 has a problem finding the arp, to fix it simply enter arp -s (gatewayip) (ethernet address) or arp -s 192.168.1.1 00-20-78-17-5f-6e I found it was going from my lan to my isp and back. } I was very happy to see my speed go from 60kps to 1000kps on internal lan traffic between win2k and freebsd. however shortly after I was told I was dead wrong and that I should take a course to understand what I was saying. I'd like some input on this.. am I wrong? is the speed increase for some other reason? or does this guy just have a fat head? -Darren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
