I'm presuming the speeds are poor from your LAN: Are the transfer speeds OK if you FTP from the firewall? How do you address the FTP server from your LAN, are you doing any DNAT/SNAT, or simply routing? Are transfer speeds always poor from the LAN regardless of which PC initiates the FTP connection? What does mii-tool & the above netstat tell you on: (a) the ftp server (b) the firewall (c) LAN workstation In an attempt to diagnose a failing NIC, try pulling down the speed on either or both of the NICs on the firewall DMZ interface and FTP server, using: mii-tool -F 10baseT-FD eth0 See man mii-tool for available speeds/duplex, etc. Regards, Chris
