Re: FTP and file transfer speeds

Chad,

 Can't tell why just yet but this is your problem: (Snipped from the 
DMZ interface statistics)

     Received 2900311 broadcasts, 124672 runts, 0 giants
     3198558 input errors, 695102 CRC, 2502959 frame, 497 overrun, 695102
ignored, 0 abort

  What is the device on the DMZ side of the PIX? The connected between 
that device (hopefully another switch) and the PIX is not happy. Over 3 
million errors and since they are splattered amongst CRC, Frame, 
Overrun, and 'Ignored' it's likely a bad cable, bad port, or bad device 
on that end. It COULD be a bad PIX port but I've not had any of those fail.

  I'd start there!

      - Larry
