I was wondering if you know any reasons why my network might be slow = (abnormally slow). Let me tell you about it. I have a FreeBSD server / firewall running. I have a cable modem that = runs into the server. the server does its stuff and passes everything = along to 2 computers hooked up to my internal network. When I connect = my computer to the cable modem directly I get speeds up around 500 - 600 = k/s but when its through the server speeds are drastically slower around = 150 - 200 tops. Also, I have samba running, but that seems very slow too. If I run an = MP3 off the server it is very choppy, however this seems to be local to = the server alone. If I play MP3's or what not off the other computer on = the network things are faster than ever. (d/l from the server seems the = same way) All this leads me to the conclusion that something is wrong with the = server. I don't know what, but let me explain how I have it set up. The server has 2 D-Link ethernet cards (I've had a good history with = them...) in it. 1 connected to the cable modem the other to the = internal network hub. All ethernet cards on the network are 10/100, but = the hub is 10baseT (soon to be 10/100 as well). The server is set up = for DHCPD from the outside, but I was having issues doing that = internally so right now the internal IP's and stuff are all static. That is about all there is to it. Funny thing is I had the same setup = (minus samba) running at school a few months ago and speeds were = fantastic. Therefore I don't know if its the network cards, the hub, or = some wacky configuration in the server itself. This problem existed = before samba worked so I don't think that is the culprit at all.

Hi!

I was wondering if you know any reasons = why my=20 network might be slow (abnormally slow). Let me tell you about=20 it.

I have a FreeBSD server / firewall = running. I=20 have a cable modem that runs into the server. the server does its = stuff=20 and passes everything along to 2 computers hooked up to my internal=20 network. When I connect my computer to the cable modem directly I = get=20 speeds up around 500 - 600 k/s but when its through the server speeds = are=20 drastically slower around 150 - 200 tops.

Also, I have samba running, but that = seems very=20 slow too. If I run an MP3 off the server it is very choppy, = however this=20 seems to be local to the server alone. If I play MP3's or what not = off the=20 other computer on the network things are faster than ever. (d/l = from the=20 server seems the same way)

All this leads me to the conclusion = that something=20 is wrong with the server. I don't know what, but let me explain = how I have=20 it set up.

The server has 2 D-Link ethernet cards = (I've had a=20 good history with them...) in it. 1 connected to the cable = modem the=20 other to the internal network hub. All ethernet cards on the = network are=20 10/100, but the hub is 10baseT (soon to be 10/100 as well). The = server is=20 set up for DHCPD from the outside, but I was having issues doing that = internally=20 so right now the internal IP's and stuff are all static.

That is about all there is to it. = Funny thing=20 is I had the same setup (minus samba) running at school a few months ago = and=20 speeds were fantastic. Therefore I don't know if its the network = cards,=20 the hub, or some wacky configuration in the server itself. This = problem=20 existed before samba worked so I don't think that is the culprit at=20 all.

If you have any hints or experience = with this=20 please let me know. Thanks!
