Slow Network - Fedora 16 LXDE - Iptables or NFS

Try (as root) the command "ethtool <interface name>"

The report generated will show (around the middle) the current speed, and the duplex mode. If you see "Duplex: Half" then you are operating at a reduced speed. You should also (just above the "Duplex" entry) see the speed the device recognizes.

ethtool can also set parameters, but I've never needed to change the defaults.

What I get for my internet connection is limited by the router:

# ethtool p6p1

Is there a similar programm for wlan0 devices?

[simon@l670 ~]$ sudo ethtool wlan0
[sudo] password for simon:
Settings for wlan0:
Link detected: yes
[simon@l670 ~]$

Cpu is not the limiting factor right now, because you aren't doing anything, but it was a couple of minutes ago:
