Slow traffic
-
Hi all,
just instaled pfsense and unfortunately I ran into some problems. The traffic in the local and wide area network is incredibly slow. It takes me up to 5 minutes to load a site and 10 minutes to start a program using mssql on the server / everything is gigabit/. Not sure if this is th right section. ::)

You really need to give more information.
What hardware, version used, rules you created, goal you want to achieve, setup (a diagram helps a lot), tests you run to get to your conclusion, logoutput of the system, status of the NICs, etc. -
I am using an old Dell optiplex, no rules are created just a default install. I want to achieve having 2 subnets, 1 for my web and mail server / few public ip's / and second for the office. I have a moderatelly good connection from the ISP - 25mbps up/down and the internal network is all gigabit, but still it takes me a huge amount of time just to copy a 2 mb file to the file server in the internal office network. Until yesterday I ran Zeroshell, but I changed to pfsense because of lfexibility and community. :)

Do you see anything in the log?
What is the status of the NICs? Any numbers on the in/out error counter? -
no errors and nic status s up
-
Is the CPU busy when the system is not passing much traffic? (Shell command top -S will help).
What version of pfSense are you using?
What NICs are you using?
What sort of response times do you see for a ping to a local host? Are they highly variable?
-
Nope the cpu is not busy, I am using the latest 1.2.3 I think it was. The NIC's are 1 gigabit Dlinks and yes the response time varies from 3 to 0.2 ms. In the moment I switched to Zeroshell back so that people in the office can work, I think my problem is from the configs. I noticed when I added DHCP IP's to be added as DNS entries the speed increased a little. ???
