It's a slow transfer, not a big delay. And I have made sure that on Windows
it's not retrieved from any local cache. I have also used wget for Windows
and it confirms -- the connection speed it just faster in Windows.
I would apperciate more help in understanding my network configuration. I do
have a DNS problem with this machine that it is not resolving any local host
names and can only understand IPs. Could this really be my problem and why?
In nsswitch.conf I have the line "hosts: files nisplus dns" but what other
files are there and how can I configure them? Anybody know a friendly
utility that auto-detects and configures the Windows network?
As for the NIC - it's a 3Com card using the 3c59x module that comes with the
default RedHat 7.1 kernel. Thanks to everyone that replied and any help is
still appreciated.
