SLOW sliplogin! Message-ID: <1994Aug27.144624.25833@cc.usu.edu> Date: 27 Aug 94 14:46:24 MDT Organization: Utah State University Lines: 48 Thanks to the help of several postings here, and of Peter van Heusden, I have finally gotten my FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 box to act as a SLIP server. I have no problems attaching my PC to the FreeBSD UNIX box via a serial cable. Now I believe I have a routing problem. When I FTP to my FBSD box, I get logged in and begin a transfer, and then I get about 0.008 Kbyte/sec transfer rates. Telnet sessions are VERY slow too. I originally had /dev/cua01 configured for my terminal at 9600, and then upped it to 57600 bps to see if I could speed it up. No such luck. It seems like I should need some route add's in there somewhere, but after reading man pages time and time again, I cannot figure them out. Let me give as many of the specifics as I can: In /etc/netstart: ifconfig lo0 10.0.0.1 #local/isolated network ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1 alias # allow localhost In /etc/slip.login: /sbin/ifconfig sl0 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.128 netmask 255.255.255.0 up Basically, my FBSD box is at 10.0.0.1. I have my PC configured as follows: ip = 10.0.0.128 netmask = 255.255.255.0 gateway = 10.0.0.1 nameserver = 10.0.0.1 One thing that may be suspect is using 10.0.0.1 for my FBSD box, and gateway, and FTP server. Maybe not. If anyone can possibly help me out, I'd really appreciate it. These speeds are unbearable! BTW - Traceroute cannot find a route to my PC, although I can ping it and get about 50 ms responses, which is very good. I'm stumped! Also, regular terminal sessions to my FBSD box at 57600 bps work great, but SLIP just chokes.
