I've heard of lots of problems with machines using cross-over cables. Can you connect the machines through a switch, and ensure that they are hard-wired to 100Base-TX full duplex at both ends, as opposed to auto-negotiating?The two machines involved are connected by a crossover cable:
I've also heard of lots of problems with some machines when the cable is too short, at least in certain combinations. Try successively longer lengths of cable, at least up to 20-30m.I'll try a different cable this evening when I get home. Is there a minimum length? The cable is currently 2m long. I'm prepared to do any other debugging people here can suggest to make it work faster. FWIW my single CPU workstaion at the office running 4.7-STABLE with an fxp0 NIC does not suffer the same throughput reduction.
