    You guys got it right......

     Here's the original question:

    I hope it's OK to post this question here. I'm having trouble with some a
    Sun Ultra 10 running Solaris 2.6. It is my development server so I am doing
    all of my coding and testing on this device, then ftp'ing the finished
    product to 3 Sun E450 servers also running Solaris 2.6. The ftp between the
    Ultra 10 and the E450's is incredibly slow i.e. 50K will take 20 minutes. If
    I ftp from the Ultra 10 to one of my HPUX servers, it runs at a typical
    speed. If I use Hummingbird's ftp to transfer files from the Ultra 10 to the
    E450's it works fine. Any idea what could be causing this? BTW all 4 servers
    are physically co-located and running on the same subnet and ftp's between
    the E450's work fine, it's only the ftp between the Ultra 10 and the E450's
    that is slow.

    Almost everyone thought that I had incompatible network card settings
    (although there were a few that suggested I throw the Sun boxes out the
    window and buy HP). Dan Butler pointed me to a handy script on Sunsolve
    called test-interfaces.ksh which utilizes the ndd command to determine
    network interface information. Sure enough the settings on my Ultra 10 were
    10MB Half Duplex, the E450's were set to 100mb Full Duplex. The actual
    culprit in all of this was the settings at the switch that the Ultra 10 was
    connected to.
    Thanks again to everyone who took the time to respond. This is an incredible
    group.
