Today I reconfigured IP address, gateway etc. and I tried to connect to another network. The results are quite upsetting: 1) I do get between 200 Kbytes / s on ftp file transfer to a local machine and 1-10 Kbytes / s when I try to ftp to or from a remote machine. 2) Two ftp transfer (to a local and to a remote machine) at the same time run both at 1-10 Kbytes / s. 3) the connection seems to brake down for some time (during this time I cannot ping other machines or I do get "host unreachable" like messages). After a while I can ping again with no package losses and reasonable round-trip timings. Yesterday I tried another 3Com card (ethernet + modem) and it worked smoothly at 200 Kbytes / s. Do you have any suggestion ? Do you think I should give the card back and try with another one ? thanks for your attention and have a nice weekend ! Nicola |
