>Description:
I am using a FreeBSD machine as a gateway to the internet for my 3 windows 9x machines. The internet link is by a cable modem connected to an 3com card (driver ep0) and is working perfectly (max speeds or 120 Kb/s as set by my cable provider). When using the internet from the 9x machines i also get the top speed of 120 Kb/s. But now comes the weird thing. When i download from the FreeBSD machine directly performance drops to 15 Kb/s max. (While uploading goes up to at 500 Kb/s). I tried various protocols etc. (HTTP, ftp and even z-modem and neither came above 15 Kb/s). I tried disabling ipdivert and ipfirewall in the kernel but that didnt resolve the problem (speeds still at 15 Kb/s). (It is not a HD problem, the HD is def. fast enough to get more than 15 Kb/s)
