Sorry to follow-up to my own message, but using a FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE box with the Linux box works just fine. It uses an xl0 instead of an fxp0. I've done a sysctl -a on each box. Here's the differences. Anything look suspicious? Thanks. -matt --- sysctl Sat Dec 21 17:43:49 2002 +++

I have a Linux box and FreeBSD box sitting on a 100Mbit ethernet segment that cannot seem to talk to one another faster than 150K/s. I've been using scp, ftp, http, to test this. A Windows box on the same segment can send/receive at 6MB/s with either box, but for some reason the FreeBSD box and L
