Hey guys --

I was getting some significant packet loss on my local network, and some very
low transfers between my two 100Mbps systems.

I blamed the hub -- And was about ready to return it. But it later occured
to me that I had a f*cked up routing table, causing all packets to go through
the ISDN router. (which isn't build to keep up with more than 128Kbps)

So I fixed the routing table, and these are the results I get. Do they seem
reasonable?

ping -f windows
PING windows.carhart.com (206.14.118.19): 56 data bytes

ftp: 56306780 bytes received in 29.82Seconds 1888.22Kbytes/sec.

That's 15 packets lost on a flood of 46K packets, and a 20Mbps rate.
The 20Mbps rate worries me -- Could that be the IDE hard drive? 

Any thoughts?
