Re: FTP and file transfer speeds

OK.  Just cleared the interface stats on the PIX and will see how they look
tomorrow.  I'll see how many of the input errors I end up with on the
various interfaces and then look at replacing the DMZ cables one by one to
see if the errors go away.  Thanks for the suggestions and i'll post the
results.

Yah that's high. Although a CLEAR COUNTERS will set everything back to 0
to see if those are new or old errors. I've got PIXs moving TB of data
with errors less than 1000 total and you are only in the MB range yet.
This is one reason why we typically avoid unmanaged equipment in the
data center - no way to get into it and see errors. The Netgear stuff
typically works but when it doesn't you have no idea if it's just a port
or something else. Try new cables first and use a different port in the
switch too. After the CLEAR COUNTERS see if the connection is better.
