Hello All,
I’m having a problem where I try to do a fresh install and when I try to ftp
a file from another machine over 100mbit ethernet, I get about 10k a second
transfer rates. I am using version 6.1.a and have set up my network
properly. I can telnet into other machines. Ping other machines. FTP
other machines, but only at a slowwwwwww rate.
Inetd is running, my /etc/hosts files is setup. I just am at a loss as to
why this thing is transferring so slowly.
Any ideas?
Jim
BTW, my ethernet card/port is an Intel 86562.

More info:
I moved my ethernet connection from 100mbit to 10mbit and it transfers 6mb
in about 6 seconds (just about right). Then I switch the cable back to the
100mbit hub and it works and transfers the same file in 1.3 seconds or so
(just about right). So transferring the cable from a 10/100 auto-switching
hub to a 10mbit only hub makes it start to work right and it goes from 10k a
second to 10,000k a second. Then switching the cable back to the 100mbit
(without rebooting) the transfer speed goes up to almost 60,000k a second.
But, if I turn the machine off and reboot, then it is back to not working
and I have to put it on 10mbit first and then switch to 100mbit.
Any ideas? For now I can use the 10mbit, but I will need 100mbit in the
future.

The ethernet drivers in 6.1 have alot of problems with media rate auto-
negotiation. To make issues worse, alot of the drivers don’t support
you to force the media rate. So, these are known issues and we are
trying to get these issues resolved for the next release.
