Description sabowski 2000-03-16 00:10:00 UTC 
I have a FreeBSD machine for running NATd, with 3 windows boxes going into the FreeBSD machine. Everything works smoothly except for FTP. it works in every case, except when I ftp from a windows machine to the BSD machine. It transfers very slow, plus the machine slows way down. If I am telneted into the machine at the same time, the lag is very noticable. if i continue to to transfer files via ftp like this, the machine eventually stops all internet services, and i have to reset it. ftp works in every other case, such as from the bsd machine to the internet, windows machine to the internet, etc. just gets weird on windows to bsd.

the machine is a cyrix 300MHz, with 2 3c509b NICs

How-To-Repeat: don't know, no one else seems to have the slightest about the problem, nor have they ever seen it. it happens every time.

I've only seen this type of problem when the machine is low on memory,
example, I had a machine with 8mb of RAM and every attempt to FTP data to
and from the machine brought the machine close to a screeching halt (and
sometimes to a reboot).  Include what type of network card(s) you are
using and the amount of memory installed in your system.
