I have a simple firewall setup with a freebsd 3.5-RELEASE machine
acting as the firewall setup for my win98 machine. The outside
NIC xl0 is set to 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> and the inside NIC of
the gateway/firewall is rl0 set to 100baseTX (100baseTX
<half-duplex>). The connection to the inside is over a
crossovercable to a 3COM905b also capable of 100Mbit Full Duplex.
For some reason transferring files from the winmachine to the
FreeBSD box never gets above 500kB per second.

The kernel is compiled with:
pseudo-device   bpfilter 1      #Berkeley packet filter
options         IPFIREWALL
options         IPDIVERT
options         IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT

And the rc.conf looks like this:
# -- Firewall enabled -- #
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_type="simple"
natd_enable="YES"
natd_interface="xl0"
# -- NICs -- #
ifconfig_xl0="inet 194.47.16.177 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.3.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"

For some reason it looks like all traffic on the inside network
is controlled by xl0, how do I go about to get the internal net
up to full speeds?

Best regards

Joel Björk
