I have a server with dual nic's running centos 5.2 1 nic connects to the cable modem, which has 15m d and 2m up, but speed tests barely come back at 5mb down including road runner's internal speed test. I hook up my laptop to the same modem, same port, using the same cable and I get 17mb down. I have ruled out iptables, nics (because same result on both nics), cables, cable modem(with a brighthouse rep) any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
