Dear List, I'm having a slight problem with my home "network" and I'm not sure where to start looking for a solution. The problem is I'm not getting anything like the speeds I should be. Basically I've got two computers connected via a Netgear 10/100M Ethernet Switch. One computer is running Mandrake 10 and the other OpenBSD 3.5. File transfers with sftp are reporting speeds of around "100KB/s" - I'm not sure if this is Bytes or Bits, but either way it's a fraction of the 100 Mbits/s I should get. I checked out the NIC configuration to make sure both cards were 100Mb/s and they both seem to be: ifconfig on Mandrake gives - eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:09:5B:1D:18:3E inet addr:10.0.0.9 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: fe80::209:5bff:fe1d:183e/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2954050 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:99 TX packets:2279725 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:99044883 (94.4 Mb) TX bytes:170102856 (162.2 Mb) Interrupt:3 Base address:0x300 and OpenBSD gives - sis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 address: 04:26:02:50:80:00 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active inet 10.0.0.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 inet6 fe80::626:2ff:fe50:8000%sis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 I found something on the internet saying problems like this can sometimes be caused by misconfiguring "duplex" but it wasn't very specific and I didn't really understand. I'd be very grateful for any help. Mark -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
