I would think a P-200 with PCI NICs should be capable of routing 3000kbps without creating a bottleneck. > Hopefully the following is what was requested and makes sense to someone... This information helps. As far as I can tell, everything looks fine. The NICs initialize properly and the routes look correct. You may want to run "ip link -s show eth0" and "ip link -s show eth1" after running the speed test. You should see fairly large values in the RX and TX columns. There should not be many (if any) errors, dropped packets, or collisions. You may also want to run the "uptime" command immediately after performing the speed test. The three load average values should all be less than 1.0, and probably much closer to 0.0. If those commands don't show any problems, you may want to look at the first two columns of the "ipchains -nvL" output. Large values in DENY or REJECT lines indicate the firewall is blocking large numbers of packets. They could be interfering with the tests. (Although I doubt the packet filtering is causing any problems. The bos.speakeasy.net net test seems to use plain-old HTTP.) Finally, if you haven't already, you may want to try a large download from a fast server (e.g. one of the SourceForge download mirrors) and see if you really do get different speeds with and without the firewall. > Thanks in advance... Sorry I wasn't more help. Hopefully someone else will pick up on something I overlooked. Or maybe the suggestions above will help you diagnose the problem. --Brad > KARL [ lots of useful debugging information snipped ] ------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
