Hi,

we are experiencing a very strange problem. All transfers from Windows =
XP boxes to our new FreeBSD 5.4 installation seem to be quite slow. The =
5.4 is located in a housing center and we try to access it from behind =
3MBit DSL lines. Instead of the expected ~320KByte/sec we only get =
220KByte/sec. If I use a FreBSD, OSX or linux machine behind the same =
router to download stuff from our 5.4 machine, everything is in perfect =
order. If I access 4.11 installations from the same Windows XP machines, =
everything is fine as well:

Linux -> 5.4: ~320K
FreeBSD 4 -> 5.4: ~320K
Windows XP -> 5.4: ~220K
Windows XP -> 4.x: ~320K

Prior to the 5.4 box we had a 4.11 machine at the same location, same =
routers clients etc. Again: Until we changed the box download speed were =
ok. MTU etc. seem to be correct as well. This also happens from several =
locations with different setups, providers etc. always with the results =
shown above. So we are pretty confident that some change between 4.X and =
5.4 breaks the transfer rates when it comes to Windows XP.=20

Do any of you have an idea where we could/should look for? Are there any =
timing issues corrected/changed in 5.X?

Regards,
  JP
