Re: Linux and FreeBSD poor network performance

Check out the duplex setting on the ethernet ports. Use 'ifconfig' and 'netstat -I dev -w 1' on FreeBSD and 'ifconfig', 'mii-tool' and 'cat /proc/net/dev' on Linux Any sort of errors may lead to this sort of behaviour. You need to match the hosts to the switch port they are connected to. SB
