I have an Etherexpress Pro/100 built into my server [Acer Altos 12000]. I installed RedHat 7.2 on it and everything went smoothly but I am getting abysmal transfer speeds through the ethernet interface. I downloaded the kernel sources from another machine on the 100Mbit switched network and I got an average transfer rate of 56KB/sec from it. This same machine can exchange data perfectly with other hosts on the network with no slowdown, so I expect that the problem is with this new Altos server. What would be the best place to start looking? There were no collisions nor errors on the Ethernet interface. Ping times are perfectly normal for our network - 0.4ms ~ 1ms. If it were a problem with media detection (the Altos server is directly connected to a 3COM SuperStack II 3300 in autosense mode) then I'd expect to see some errors on the interface, or collisions etc, but nothing seems to be amiss there. Any suggestions? -Ahsan Ali - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
