Re: 486 router is very slow
As someone who has nothing of my own to offer, I do recall reading of a
similar (if not identical) problem a few months ago. Seems the cause of
the slowdown was that the NIC needed to work half duplex rather than
full duplex. Reconfiguring to half duplex brought the speed back up to
expected rates. Sorry I can't recall the source on this info.
