Hi folks, I have a FreeBSD gateway running on FreeBSD 4.5, for connection of my home LAN to an ADSL line. One NIC in the gateway is connected to the ADSL line and the other NIC is connected to a switch with my LAN computers (Macs and PCs). The software I use is natd and ipfw (with only simple rules). The box is a P200 MMX. The _problem_ is that when I download a file on a box connected to the LAN, the d/l speed is limited to ca 40-70 Kb/sec, even though the ADSL allows 2.5 Mbit/s. (I also get sudden 2-3 second stops in the download.) When I connect the LAN machines directly to the ADSL line, I get ca 250 Kb/second d/l speed on the same downloads... The same thing goes for the gateway FreeBSD machine... Always very good speed (250 Kb/sec). So the problem is only the LAN boxes. Does anyone know if I should tweak the natd/ipfw settign to get around this?
