I'm running FreeBSD 3.4-RC on a p166 with 32MB, D-link DFE-530TX. It's connected to a K6-2 400, 192MB ram, windows 98se, again with a D-link DFE-530TX. I get great sends from the windows box to FreeBSD. FTP and samba get 3.5MB/s, which maxes out the dodgy 1GB slow HDD that FreeBSD has - it thrashes constantly until the file transfer is done. Network benchmarks on the windows box tell me 8.5MB/s. The cards are running in Full-Duplex 100Mbps along a 10 metre CAT 5 UTP cable. Unfortunately though, sends from FreeBSD go horrendously slow. Both FTP and samba only send at 500KB/s at the most. Usually averaging around 250KB/s. I was reading through the mailing list archive and found somebody who had the exact same symptoms as mine - fast receives, but slow sends, and ftpd sending data in bursts every few seconds. But i couldn't find the solution to his problem. Anybody have any ideas why it's going so slow? Here's a few snips of my config. This is from dmesg: vr0: rev 0x06 int a irq 11 on pci0.18.0 vr0: Ethernet address: 00:80:c8:d8:19:b7 vr0: autoneg complete, link status good (full-duplex, 100Mbps) And ifconfig: vr0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:80:c8:d8:19:b7 media: 100baseTX supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552 ppp0: flags=8051 mtu 576 inet 210.84.240.184 --> 210.84.63.240 netmask 0xffffff00 ppp1: flags=8010 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 Can anybody please help?
