Hey guys, I've been trying to get support from the pfSense forums for a while but I think they've run out of ideas. I think my problem has something do to with FreeBSD and my motherboard, so I decided to post here.
I have a Dell Optiplex 745 SFF (Core 2 Duo) with an Intel PRO/1000 MT Dual Port Server Adapter
I am running 2.0-BETA4 (i386) built on Wed Oct 20 20:31:52 EDT 2010
I have the onboard Broadcom NIC disabled in the BIOS.
I cannot achieve 100 mbps FD speeds. I can download at 100 mbps without any upload, and I can upload at 100 mbps without any download. But when I attempt to do both at the same time, my upload goes to 40 mbps while my download is at 100 mbps.
I have tried this network card in another machine and it works perfectly under the same test conditions.
I have the same problem with the 1.2.3 release of pfSense as well.
I have tried enabling/disabling pooling and hardware offloading, but it does not fix my throughput issues.
Any ideas?
