Switch or hub?
60 clients consisting of Linux , Windows & solaris O/S Dns is used for name resolution there is a local webserver "Apache" running on my network which provides large media files to clients as downloads... the problem that when clients downloads the download speed they get is ranging from 400kbps to 1.5 mbps .. both in rush hour & off hours . so i wanted to know is that normal ? if not then wat can be the problem & how can i fix it ?
Well ... normal is a relative term ... What does 'ifconfig' tell you? Is your network card actually negiotiating 100 or 10? Make sure it's negiotiating properly, or your network performance will suffer. Also, you're saying "large media files". It's very likely that the bottleneck is not your network, but your disk drive on the server. You can use systat to monitor the drive usage during activity, and if it's high, it's probably the limiting factor. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
