[Xitami] Why is my XITAMI server so slow?

[Jerry Richer]

     I have four Windows machines running inn a LAN through a 10 Megabit
CNET CNIG904B router.  The computers all have
TCP-IP installed but not NETBEUI.  All the computers get their IP address
automatically from the router except one that is running XITAMI as an FTP
and HTTP server.  When I call on the FTP server from outside the network it
is painfully slow.  It takes ten minutes to download a 3.5 Megabyte file
from the FTP server.  The network is on a cable modem and I am calling in
from outside the network from a computer that is also using a cable modem.
Now the network is slow also.  It takes me eight hours to transfer 600
Megabyte from one computer to another on the network..  Any idea what the
problem is?  I realize it's not a XITAMI problem directly but it sure makes
the FTP and HTTP servers almost useless.
