Lines: 29 Message-ID: <4vbp8q$cjb@nntp.Stanford.EDU> NNTP-Posting-Host: warthog.stanford.edu Hi Folks, My system has the following configuration: Pentium 32Mb RAM BSD 2.1.5 3Com 3c509b, Etherlink combo card (using YP) For some reason, when I telnet to other machines or do any kinda of data transfer across the network, it has been sluggish. I have tried various means to find out why: - Connected a PC running Win 3.1 to the same ethernet jack and the latency disappers. - I have moved my machine to different places on the network (to see if the problem was with the segment) and I get the smae sluggish performance. ANyboday have any ideas? I keep hearing that it might have to do with 3com cards? Is that true?
