* network speed question @ Lorenzo Taylor ` Kelly Prescott 0 siblings, 1 reply; 10+ messages in thread From: Lorenzo Taylor @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a PC that I am using as a router/firewall. It has 2 network cards, the second of which (eth1) is used to connect directly to my laptop using a crossover network cable. The connection does work. The only problem is that my connection speed never exceeds 425KB/s in either direction. My connection to the internet is a full 5 megabits download speed. But my laptop won't receive data faster than 4.5KB/s either from the internet or directly from the PC, and it can't send at a faster speed either. The only way I could increase the speed between the 2 computers was to adjust the MTU to 100 on both connected interfaces. That gave me a maximum connection speed of about 850KB/s but it slowed my laptop's connection down to about 50KB/s. Both the PC and laptop are running Debian with a 2.6.11 kernel, but I have had similar experiences with other distributions and both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. It is interesting to note, also, that I once had a laptop that was running WinXP and FC3 at different times in its life. FC3 gave me the same problem and WinXP gave me about a 20MB/s connection going into the laptop and a 70KB/s connection going to the PC. Any help to clear up this problem is greatly appreciated.

The simplest solution is to try a switch between the 2 units. What you are probably seeing is negociation issues. while it is true that cross cables do work, it has been my experience that a cheap switch in the middle dramatically improves life. hth On Tue, 19 Jul 2005, Lorenzo Taylor wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > I have a PC that I am using as a router/firewall.

* Re: network speed question ` Sean McMahon @ ` Joseph C. Lininger 0 siblings, 0 replies; 10+ messages in thread From: Joseph C. Lininger @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Sean McMahon, Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. TCP uses what is called the window size. I'm not exactly sure what the technical details are, but large windows is a feature that allows for larger amounts of data to be transfered. The problem is that some types of data can not be transfered when this extention is used, so it must be nagotiated for different connections. -- It's not one damn thing after another, it's the same damn thing over and over.

I suggested it only because I was saying I'd be interested in knowing if making them identical in Windows and Linux made the transfer speeds in both operating systems equal. See each uses different default settings. If you are having a speed issue with a direct connection between two computers, you will want to investigate the tcp settings, but also the following things. 1. The routing tables on both ends, especially if one of the machines has more than one ethernet interface. Check that packets are not being accidentally routed to the wrong interface. 2. Are transfers in either direction effected, or only in one direction? 3. Do you imploy anything like iptables that may be either blocking or redirecting some of the packets? 4. Is there a possibility that there is something wrong with the cable you are using? 5. Finally, does the Linux machine (the server, the one with internet access) have access to DNS or is there an entry in /etc/hosts for the ip address of the laptop? This can cause things to slow down because things that you wouldn't expect will issue a query for a host name.

Lininger @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In general the transfer speed should not be effected by CPU speed actually. In general, the ethernet interface can't deliver data as quickly as the machine can process it, even with the older machines. Now, if you are running an on-access virus scanner or something, then the cpu could factor in to transfer speeds. However, generally the nic is the slowest link in the chain between the network and the hard drive.
