Here is the steps I would take. First, set up an internal network between 2 machines and run a short benchmark. (you can ftp the Linux kernel). You should see speeds close to the speed of your network card in both directions. (BTW: I learned that my 10/100 16 bit PCMCIA card was really 10 Mbps then I returned the 16 bit card for a cardbus 10/100 card). My benchmark between my desktop and my laptop at the time was something like 88Mbps with both machines connected to a 10/100 switch. If you are unable to get a speed close to the NIC card's rated performance (10Mbps or 100Mbps), then suspect the network cards. Once you have proven that the network cards are working properly, then look at your ADSL. You should be able to achieve close to 512 when downloading from your ISP. Once you leave the ISP's network all bets are off. BTW: I have a cable modem, and my Internet benchmarks normally run above 1Mbps on SuSE 7.3. On 8 Apr 2002 at 21:56, Manuel Cardenas wrote:
Hi everybody
We have a 512/256 ADSL connection with suse 7.2, we used yast 2 for installing it and point to the network card eth0, everything looks fine, the problem we have is that for downloading instead of 512 kbps we get 100 kbps for uploading it is fine, we thought it was the line so connected it to a M$ w2k machine and we got the 512, does anybody know where can i get information on this?.
