Hi, I've got the following kit running; FreeBsd 5.3Release-p5, 4.10-RELEASE-p2, Windows XP SP2, Syslinux and Windows 2003 SP1. They all are connected to a 3com 100mbit Hub. All machines 100Mbit HalfDuplex. When I execute the ping -f command from 5.3 to 4.10 I am getting a ~18% packetloss, the same when I execute the command from 4.10 to 5.3. However when I ping -f the Windows 2003 server, the Syslinux Firewall or Windows XP I am lucky if at least 10 packets are dropped. In both FreeBSD boxes Intel Nics are used (fxp). Why does the other OS-es seem to handle this better than FreeBSD? Is there something I could change to improve (if I should) the networkhandling? Or am I now only chasing ghosts? When I am running a ftp filetransfer between the 2 FreeBSD boxes I get speeds up until 7.25MB/s, which is a good throughput in my humble opinion. Thanks and regards, Patrick
