Hi all, I am completely new to Monowall. I was told the adjust the speed/duplex settings on our firewall, but I cannot seem to find a place where you can adjust this. Is there such a place? We are experiencing a complete bottleneck for our servers since installing this firewall. Everything is slow slow slow getting out to the net. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Googling "m0n0wall full duplex" turned up:  http://m0n0.ch/wall/list/showmsg.php?id=43/55

"First, if anyone else is having this problem open up http://<yourm0n0ip>/exec.php and use any of
the following commands;

For 10mbps half-duplex: ifconfig bge0 media 10BaseT/UTP mediaopt half-duplex
For 10mbps full-duplex: ifconfig bge0 media 10BaseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex
For 100mbps half-duplex: ifconfig bge0 media 100basetx mediaopt half-duplex
For 100mbps full-duplex: ifconfig bge0 media 100basetx mediaopt full-duplex

Substituting bge0 for your device name of course Wink"

what are you running it on? what NICs are you using? are you using the traffic shaper? if so your pipes should be set just under your up/download speed.

what version of m0n0wall are you using? 1.235 uses BSD 4.* and has better throughput potential.
"m0n0wall 1.3b is based on FreeBSD 6.x and has better hardware support than the FreeBSD 4.x based versions (up to version 1.23x), as well as a few new features. However, it also has higher hardware requirements.
