Dropped from 1000Mbit to 100Mbit
-
Today I reinstalled pfsense, because of squid wasn't uninstalled correctly.
I hade no configuration done at all, so a reinstall seemed the fastest way to go.So, reinstalled with exactly the same configuration.
pfsense says 1000Mbit on WAN and 1000Mbit on LAN, but I can only measure 100Mbit.
Without the pfsense-router it goes up to 200 where it's supose to be.Any ideas?
-
Reinstalled again, reset BIOS but still only 100Mbit.
The NIC is a DualPort Intel Pro 1000Mbit.The card works fine.
Tested both ports in my dekstop = 200mbit
Tested other cables and so on.Only thing left is checking the other hardware, but I don't see why it should have anything to do with this.
Router hardware:
Asus P5N-D
E8600
4Gb DDR2
Intel PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter

Run 'top -SH' at the console while testing your download speed.
Are you running out of CPU for some reason? You shouldn't be with that machine.
Do you have a duplex mismatch between the WAN interface and whatever it's connected to?
Bad cable? Is it exactly 100Mbps? Seems suspicious. :-\Steve

It is strange.
It worked before, same configuration, nothing has changed so why this is happening I don't know.
Have to check the machine later this evening.

Aww..
The NIC port 2 only gives 100Mbit. :(
Why this now, the speed is 1000Mbit, says both the PC and the modem.
-
Both ends set to auto detect speed and duplex?
Your ISP decided to limit you? ;)So all you did was reinstall, with the same version?

Yes.
Tried the card in my desktop.Port 1: 1000Mbit connection, 200Mbit measured
Port 2: 1000Mbit connection, 100Mbit measuredSo the card is smoked, how it can indicate 1Gbit and deliver 100Mbit I don't know, probably firmware problems or a faulty circuit.
Checked the physical port, but no problems visible.Warranty here we come!

Huh, that is not something I would have thought of.
Weird. ::)Steve
