Thanks for everybody's replies, especially Bob's detailed sample output. I now know one card on one of my box is just a normal network card, not a Gigabit one, so 10MB is in fact quite good for me. No need to investigate on cat 6 cables now. FYI, this is how I tested, Measuring Network Speeds with Netcat and Dd http://jbowes.wordpress.com/2010/10/13/measuring-network-speeds-with- netcat-and-dd/ Here is my output: 512+0 records in 512+0 records out 536870912 bytes (537 MB) copied, 54.4971 s, 9.9 MB/s -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
