First on the server, open up TCP port 5001 on the firewall (just is just temporarily--iperf defaults to port 5001), then run "iperf -s" on the server. On the client, run "iperf -c ip-address-of-server" and wait, oh, 15 seconds or so. Both the client and server should show some results. This is from my laptop as the client over a 100Mbps wired link to my server (yes, it's an old laptop with a built-in 100Mbps NIC): [root@golem4 ~]# iperf -c 192.168.1.50 ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to 192.168.1.50, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 85.0 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 3] local 192.168.1.52 port 38964 connected with 192.168.1.50 port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 112 MBytes 94.2 Mbits/sec So, over my 100Mbps wired link, I got 94.2Mbps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Where there's a will, I want to be in it. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
