I have two computers connected to each other with a switch and everything worked just fine until yesterday... I started to move files from my gentoo server to my winxp desktop but I noticed that the speed was only 46kb/s which is my internet connections upload speed... I usually upload in lan like 4-8mb/s... I have no clue what could be wrong, only thing I did was that I re-installed my xp and updated portage in my gentoo server.... If anyone has a solution for this prob or some other way to get files to move fast, please post it, thanks :)

I also noticed that my ip has been changed...?

OSiKSOR,

I would guess that all your local traffic is being routed via your ISP.
What does the output of
Code:
/sbin/route -n
on the Gentoo box show?

You should have defualt route that directs traffic to your ISP and a second entry for local traffic.

Your XP box should have the same setup. On XP, I think you run netstat in a DOS box to get routing info.

Yes. `netstat -r`, specifically.
