Re: FTP Speeds

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

#1 DSPLIND on your i5/OS Line Description. Obseve rhe CURRENT line sped 
and duplex settings.
#2 Log into your switch and observe the reported speed and duplex 
settings for the port the i5 is in.

I) They *MUST match.
II) They *MUST be the same
II) They *MUST identical.

If they are not, then Force them to be so. If it means going back to 
*HALF duplex then that's a lot better than what you are getting.

If all is good between the switch and your i then check connections 
between that switch and the one you are connected to.

If I can get 7000KBps from Frankie then anyone should be able to do that 
well!!

ps: If you have Cisco or Dell switches and the settings are Auto on both 
the switch and your i then you likely have a mismatch and that will 
indeed cause this much slowdown.
