Hi everybody, my name is Giulia and work in Italy.
I have installed the endian firewall community version in a pc dell dimension 3000 (512mb ram and pantium 4).
I have installed a router cisco and a line hdsl 8 mega.

the router is connect in the red interferface with a cross cable.
The Lan is connect in a green interface.

Good , my problem is the follow:

If i do a test with speedtest.net when my pc is connect direct in the router i have 6,5 mb of band in upload and download
If i do a test when my pc is in the LAN my band is 1,5 mb in download and 5 mb in upload.

I ask the follow question:

Is possibile resolve taht problem?
and what is the problem?
Anybody help i little women

Thanks for help and good day

CIAO.

Sounds like you are experiencing an interface duplex mismatch. To check, do the following: (let's say all interfaces are 100Mbps)

Check the duplex on your Cisco router inside interface. Then go to the endian via SSH and issue "mii-tool -v" and check the speed of the RED interface.
If the duplex is not the same on both side, you have found the problem. To fix it you may have to disable autonegotiation on the router and fixing the duplex to full.

Hope that helps.

thanks for help

The speed and duplex on the Endian side look fine. What about your Cisco side? By the way, which packages do you have enabled on the firewall? Are you running Snort by any chance?

Also, have you tried taking a look at "top" while you are doing the speed test?
