WMP11, FreeBSD and large files

[Bruce Rhodewalt]

This isn't a Samba question, or a question relating to Australia, but the
group seems helpful and intelligent, so I'm hoping you can help.  I'd like
to identify my problem and fix it.  I'm looking for troubleshooting advice,
primarily.

On my FreeBSD 4.6 server, with a Linksys WMP11, small files transfer fine,
but large files (> ~100K) timeout.  This happens using both WebDAV (Web
Folders) and Samba.  I have tested by copying files from the clients
(Windows 2000 and Windows 98) to the server.  If the server is connected by
100Mbps Ethernet, there is no problem.

I've included settings and details below.  I'm running smbd and nmbd as
daemons.  For WebDAV, I'm running Apache 2.

Thanks for any help.

Note: wi0 and rl0 (the NIC) have never both been mapped to TCP/IP at any one
time.  That is, the IP address 192.168.1.12 is the only one in use on this
machine.  When I test over the wired connection, wi0 is not mapped to any IP
address, but rl0 uses 192.168.1.12.
