Slow network connection
Well, I finally got my Ruffian installed, and it now runs Potato quite well,
except for one thing. When I connect to my Cox.net cable-modem connection,
I get only about 2.5 - 6 kB/s. The same machine, unsing the same NIC and the
same network settings, got about 350 kB/s at my buddy's house when
installing packages from debian.org, using apt-get. He is also on Cox,
although he is in a different area. Other than the location, the only other
difference was that, at his house, my Alpha was connecting through a
Speedstream SOHO router, and here, it's directly connected. Anybody got any
ideas?
Thanks to all who offered advice with getting this machine booted, the real
problem turned out to be a bad RAM chip.
Peace,
