Using compression flag on the ssh client ? Hmm, I seem to have missed this. Are you on an open network ? Yes my network is open to Internet, I have an Apple Airport Station which handles my pppoe connection, with portmapping enabled. Rules of portmapping is : - we don't serve anything here (

What does your switch say ? switch says 100 full. I have a (NetBSD) box here which, for some reason, refuses to go into full duplex mode, though it claims it is in full duplex. And there is no way to know about reality ? I just can't trust ifconfig ? By the way I've set net.inet.tcp.sendspa

What does the CPU utilization look like on each machine ? On the server side, CPU never goes up to 3% On the client side, I don't know since I don't have top compiled on Windows (to able to execute it in X). But the computer is really fast. How much of that is the SSH process ? sshd is about

Using compression flag on the ssh client ? No. But I've just tried. It slows down a little, but not much. I would say that pictures do not takes 2 seconds but 2.5 seconds. Well. But it's quite far from 1/4 ;) processing power of either station getting overwhelmed by the bursty graphics demands

One common problem is when your NIC is set to half-duplex operation and everything else is set to full duplex. I've done an ifconfig as mentioned in the handbook, and it says that my card (rl0) : media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) and of course it is active. I check on the PC running Window
