Weird slow network problem...
This has to be one of the weirdest networking problems I've come across.
A friend running Debian can transfer files on the local network at normal
10mbit speeds. However as soon as he tries to transfer stuff from outside the
local net, transfer speeds drop to 30kB/s bursts as opposed to the
300-600kB/s continuous stream locally.
The weirdest part about this is that he has identical network card
(RTL-8029, using the ne2k-pci driver), identical kernel (2.2.11), identical
Debian install (potato as of yesterday) and identical config (except for the
IP address of course :). I have no problems transferring files at full
speed both locally and externally, he does.
Anyone have any ideas?
