Hi!
First of all, it's so nice with a BSD forum. I'm a really green BSD user, this makes things so much better =)
Now, I have very recently installed FreeBSD on a server ( Amd XP 2800+, 1GB memory, two network cards ). The server acts as a router to my computer.
The problem is that I get really slow network speeds.
My internet connection is 100/100 and ping times was lightning fast while using Ubuntu server.
Now I get 140ms to http://www.google.com from the command line.
When a friend tries to download a file from the Lighttpd server he gets only about 80kB/s. ( His internet connection isn't the problem ).
I've managed to get almost 3MB/s downspeed from sunet.se using
fetch from the terminal but that should have been around 7MB/s atleast.
When I start to download a torrent at my computer behind the server I get disconnected from the server(router) as soon as the torrent gets some speed. ( 500 kB/s + )
It's a fresh server install and I compiled the kernel with IPFW (using these commands http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/firewalls-ipfw.html ) to be able to use natd for routing.
I would appreciate if anyone could give me some advice on how to solve this.
Thanks
