I have win2k and BSD4.3 hooked up to a hub with 2 separate IPs with a cable
modem hooked up to the hub also. @home is the provider. When I ftp to the
freebsd system, its slow and the uploads are incomplete. It works for anyone
else. Any suggestions??

If it's slow for the uploads it could be because it's going out to the net
before reaching the other box. Are your two ip's on the same ip subnet? like
24.108.1.xxx and 24.108.56.xxx. If they are not on the same subnet it will
have to go out to your gateway, and hence through your modem, which would
probably limit the speed you'll get as cablemodems are notoriously slow for
uploads.. well.. compared to downloads anyways :)

Hope it helps,
Finn.

You have the same problem I have.
I have a bsd box with a static ip and windows with DHCP and they are on a
different subnet.
This is @home setup problem. They are either trying to limit us or are
incompetent.
I think it's latter.
If they are selling people static IPs they should make sure that they are on
the same subnet as their dhcp machines.
They know that there will be traffice between the machines and its putting
additional stress and unneccesary traffice on their router.
