So for example (the client is the one issuing the get/put): Action Server Client Result ftp get bsdi 2.1 bsdi 2.0 1.2e+02 Kb/sec ftp put bsdi 2.1 bsdi 2.0 1.6 Kb/sec !!! ftp get bsdi 2.0 bsdi 2.1 1.8 Kb/sec !!! ftp put bsdi 2.0 bsdi 2.1 1.3e+02 Kb/sec The 2.1 machine is a very plain Pentium 166 w/ AHA 1542, 32MB, CD ROM, 4 Gig IBM H/D and SMC WD8013 configured at I/O=280, IRQ=10, Base=0xd000. Nothing else, except for serial and parallel ports. The 2.0 machine is a Toshiba Satellite (410CDT) with a Xircom parallel port ethernet adapter. BTW, I have Windows NT installed on a second partition on the 2.1 machine disk and it gets acceptable (high) throughput in both directions when doing FTPs. I have also done "sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.do_rfc1323=0" and have disabled DNS resolution but to no avail.. Any pointers/help will be greatly appreciated! Carlos Rimola
