Re: Network speed

Problem solved:

The on-board LAN controller on BEAST2 (an eCS machine) broke.
Went out and bought a new one - now everything is back
to normal.

I have a small home LAN with two eCS machines and two Windows machines.
The internal LAN speed is 100mbs.

Both machines have no problem accessing the Windows machines but
when I attemp anything between the two eCS machines they crawl.

Just opening a shared directory with maybe 100 subdirectories at various
depths takes an age to populate the directory tree window.

This behaviour has recently started approx. two weeks ago.

Can anybody help?

What did you do two weeks ago? Install new software or an update to some system code? Unless one of the NIC on one of the OS/2 machine is dieing on you, which PMping will quickly show by pinging your router, I think that is where you need to remember and reverse. Reboot the machines in case there is out of resource problem, a small possibility if the machine been up for a while and you used beta software like Mozilla Firefox.
