By the way most network products rate speed in bits/sec, not bytes/sec which I see a lot of apps use to rate connection or dl speed. So it look like r11 is at 10mbits/sec = 1.25mbytes/sec. Like Alex said samba is slow, so try another protocal. To test it try installing some network testing software from ports to test your network speed, or check pcpitstop.com for an internet speed test. You can check the man pages like $man rc.conf, or check the default configs on your hard drive. Finnally I would like to say that the mtu value can have a big impact on speed. On win98 the default is really small for dailup, or something like that, so something I do to get a good speed boost is up the size of the mtu. Check http://cable-dsl.home.att.net/ for details.

This has gotta be a software issue... it seems logically impossible for
it to be otherwise. I have my windows box running off a nat on my fbsd
box, it transmits to my isp at a max of about 160k down 70k up.
Transfering files between the two boxes can be done at a max of 1.6M down
and 130k up. Hense its physcially impossible for it to be a hardware
problem. This is all quite annoying as both boxes are connected by

10/100 nics and a 50' crossover cable. Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this issue and how it could possibly be resolved?
Here is the output from ifconfig on the bsd box: rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::250:fcff:fe71:a11b%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:50:fc:71:a1:1b media: Ethernet 100baseTX <full-duplex> status: active rl1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::250:bfff:fe17:63a2%rl1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 142.59.160.131 netmask 0xfffff800 broadcast 142.59.167.255 ether 00:50:bf:17:63:a2 media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552 faith0: flags=8002<BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
