Title: Etherbridge slow
Post by: leofoe on January 27, 2006, 11:36:33 AM

Don't know if this is a hardware or software issue...
I have an A3000 with an A2386SX Bridgeboard and ISA NIC. I wanted to use the bridgeboard as a cheap networking solution as described here (http://home.arcor.de/kickstart/TKA/Tutorials/bridgeboard/index.html). I use AmiTCP as the TCP-stack.
After a long time of experimenting i've got this combination running. But slooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww. Pinging the default gateway is average 2300 ms.
Is there anybody on this forum with experience with this kind of networking?

I used a 286 AT cbm bridgeboard and it gave me transfers between 300 and 400Kbytes/s.

It worked pretty well :-)

I don't remember that it was slow. A friend of mine is using it on his A2000 and it works very smoothly too.

Are you using a 16bit Ne2000 isa card?

The NIC is a 16 bit Lantech. I use the correct packetdriver belonging to this card.

Edit: the Etherbridge prefs program tests the setup OK. No packet-loss.

Changed NIC. Now using 3Com509B. All OK.
