I have a FreeBSD 3.5 RELEASE box acting as a gateway using ipfw and NAT.
The problem is that I can't the speed much higher than 500kB/s when
transferring on the internal network but when I download files from Internet
I can get as high as 1MB/s. The 2 boxes are connected as follows:

  ____________      _____________
  |           |     |            |
  |           |     |            |
  | win98SE   |-----|xl0      rl0|---- Internet
  |           |     |            |
  |___________|     |____________|

The rl0 is then connected to a 10Mbit Half Duplex network

The 2 NICS for the internal net are connected with a crossover cable and they
autonegotiate to 100Mbit Half Duplex.

Can someone please tell me what's wrong, I've switched NIC but that doesn't
seem to work.
