Networking issues on Raspbery Pi

somebody_else

Hi

Greetz for all.

I'm having some issues with my Raspberry Pi early B model with 256 Mb of ram.

I have raspbmc latest build and it works fine except network.

Here are some test i've done which are strange. Have raspbmc and nasbox with Centos7 on x86 PC, connected via a tplink or sitecom 10/100 non managed switch. Connection between both devices is slow and from raspberry pi very slow.

as you can see connection test on speedtest shows a much better speeds which is very strange.
I suspected switch issues but on the other one is the same.

Any thoughts ?
