Hi,

I setup a computer to act as a natd for our office. Everything works fine
but I'm trying to tweak it a little bit to get extra speed.

When I download from box itself I easily get 6 or 7 mbytes/sec. but
when I do it behind the nat (office pc). I only get ~ 500k/sec.


Is there a way to tweak the sysctl to get some more speed ?


thanks,

-chris
