pentium 166 3com 3c905 / 100mb lan ftp and other network services where traffic is directed towards a remote host work normally (ie put or mput) but when trying to grab files, the process is terribly slow. i have several other machines on my network and they are working normally. one machine runs redhat 6.0, several others are running windoze. they work fine as well. so to put a one meg file takes a few seconds but to get a one meg file takes ten to fifteen minutes! i've never seen this type of behavior before and am at a loss to track this down to anything other than redhat 6.1. windoze95 was installed previously on the problem machine and networking/tcpip worked normally.
This is a problem with networking, e.g. duplex/speed negotiation or forcing, not ftp.
