Hey everyone, first time user of FreeNAS and first time poster here.
I think I've identified why my transfer speeds are acting like I only have a 10/100Mb network. I set up the new NAS box and when I go to transfer my media collection, I only get about 11-16Mb/s.
I had a neighbor who knows about Linux commands (I know absolutely nothing), and he said the system was defaulting to 100BaseTX Full Duplex, not gigabit. However, he didn't know how to change it, and I don't either.
I even tried a separate PCI-E gigabit adapter. Still defaulted to 100BaseTX. The onboard gigabit NIC details can be found here: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5K/#specifications
The issue is not the router or PC. I get transfer rates around 80Mb/s from one Win7 box to another one on the network.
Hopefully this is an easy fix. Is there an easy way to enable the gigabit capabilities on my NAS box?
Router: D-Link DIR-655
HTPC:
Intel Core i5 2500-5
ASUS P8P67
8GB G.SKILL DDR3 1600 (2x4GB)
1TB WD Caviar Black HDD 7200RPM
LG Blu-Ray Player
Radeon HD 5770
750w PSU
HTPC Case
Windows 7 Home Premium
NAS BOX:
Inter Core2Duo 6750
ASUS P5K
5GB DDR 2 800 (2x2GB + 2x512MB)
2x 2TB Toshiba 7200 RPM drives (Raid 0 ZFS formatted)
some old PCI-e video card
400w PSU
old gaming case
FreeNAS OS loaded on 8GB flash drive
So, like I said, I don't believe it's my hardware, or my existing network. My neighbor who knows a little bit of Linux command lines (or whatever you call them) showed me where the FreeNAS box auto-selected 100BaseTX for the network card. I just need to know why, since it's a gigabit NIC.
Any help is appreciated.
