I am having bandwidth issues with my freeBSD Operating system. I am attempting to setup 3 computers through a hub. When I plug my @home cable modem directly into the FreeBSD computer I get about 300kb download, but if I plug it into the hub (Even with NO other computers plugged into the huh) it goes down to about < 10kb) I have done the following to attempt to troubleshoot the problem: 1: I have tried every port on hub w/ no other computers hooked in. 2: I have tried > 3 CAT 5 wires 3: I have tried 4 nics (2 SMC's 1 Realtek and 1 Lynksys) 4: I have tried 2 hubs (1 is a netgear, I do not know the others brand name, but it does work, as I tested it on other computers in room) 5: Reinstalling Operating system > 3 times. 6: Installed other operating systems (Linux [Linux did not experience this problem]) I currently have 3 SMC 10/100 PCI ethernet cards in the machine. ________________________________________ bash-2.04# dmesg | grep address rl0: Ethernet address: 00:e0:29:98:17:dd rl1: Ethernet address: 00:04:e2:0b:74:97 rl2: Ethernet address: 00:04:e2:0b:74:7f bash-2.04# ---------------------------------------- I have reinstalled the operating system using the GENERIC kernel. ________________________________________ bash-2.04# uname -a FreeBSD xxxxxxx.xxxxxx.tx.home.com 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Mon Nov 20 13:02:55 GMT 2000 jkh@bento.FreeBSD.org: /usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 bash-2.04# --------------------------------------- My hub setup is the following: _______________________________________ @home cable modem plugged into UPLINK on hub. FreeBSD plugged into any of remaining ports. For testing, I sometimes plug one-two other computers into hub (There download speed continues to remain at approx 300kb while plugged into hub regardless of FreeBSD's presense). --------------------------------------- Any help or suggestions regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated. I have been a Linux user for about 2 years and have recently fallen in love with FreeBSD. I would really hate to have to go back because of a bandwidth issue. Also, I dont know if it means anything, but I do get an ICMP Bandwidth message when being nmaped. _________________________________________ bash-2.04# nmap -P0 127.0.0.1 Starting nmap V. 2.53 by fyodor@insecure.org ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) Jul 30 14:02:52 deicide /kernel: icmp-response bandwidth limit 364/200 pps Jul 30 14:02:53 deicide /kernel: icmp-response bandwidth limit 384/200 pps ^C caught SIGINT signal, cleaning up bash-2.04# ------------------------------------------ Did not think it was relevant though as my bandwidth is fine plugged directly into computer from modem. Anyways, Please help. Thank you, Jason. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
