Post subject:  Network slow on outgoing but not incoming

I use a crossover cable to transfer files from my PowerBook to my KnoppMyth system (videos, games and whatnot). When I copy from my PowerBook to the Linux system I get good speeds, but if I try and go the other way, it crawls. I have checked the cable and it is fine, I have even used several different cables with the same result.

Does anyone know what might cause this?

Hmm, I saw one other post with this kind of asymmetric network speed, also one apple player in the game...

Can you run
Code:
ifconfig eth0

as root after copying from the linux box to the PowerBook?

Are you using samba? If so, try ftp or nfs and see if its the same.

pixelbend, this is usually due to either CPU load, hard disk speed/cache differences, or software/protocol incompatibilities.

Th eliminate the latter, try using scp on the Mac.

e.g. incoming to PowerBook:
scp 192.168.0.2:/myth/tv/1001_20050411175900_20050411185900.nuv /tmp
versus
scp 192.168.0.2:/myth/tv/1001_20050411175900_20050411185900.nuv /dev/null

Outgoing from PowerBook:
scp /tmp/1001_20050411175900_20050411185900.nuv 192.168.0.2:/myth/tv
versus
scp /tmp/1001_20050411175900_20050411185900.nuv 192.168.0.2:/dev/null
