I apologize if this message has been sent to the incorrect list.

To anyone that may assist,
    I have an issue on a FreeBSD machine acting as a firewall/router with 2
NICs.  Here is my configuration

Running 4.3-release
Pentium 2 - 350mhz, 128mb RAM
6gb hard drive with less than 25% used on all slices
2 network cards, Realtek type, (rl0 and rl1)
Routable IPs on both interfaces, using routed
rl0 200.200.200.6, default gateway 200.200.200.5
rl1 200.200.201.1
2.3mb SDSL line
IPFW is running, no queues enabled.  Basic port blocking only
Running Apache 1.3.20 on rl0

Physical setup:
DSL line -> Efficient Router -> Hub (10baseT) -> FreeBSD (rl0) ->
(routed) -> FreeBSD (rl1) -> Hub (100baseT) -> Local Machines

Tests
Win98 machine at 200.200.200.2, goes to internet server and downloads file
at full bandwidth.
WinXP machine at 200.200.200.3, full bandwidth when going to popular
download site on the net.

Win98 machine to Apache server running on rl0, download 30-40k/sec max.
Win98 machine ftp to rl0, download 30-40k/sec max, upload 600-700k/sec
WinXP machine to Apache server running on rl0, download 30-40k/sec max.
WinXP not tested on ftp to rl0.

External machine (a friend) running Win98 to Apache server running on rl0
via DSL, download 150+k/sec.

So I am deducing there is a problem somewhere in the routing of data between
rl0 and rl1 to my internal Win98 machine since it is affecting not only http
but ftp traffic as well.  I have tried removing all IPFW rules to see if
maybe they are clogging up the system, no change.

I have asked a few other more experienced admins to see if they have any
ideas.  Besides suspected hardware issues no ideas come up.

Any ideas?  I am dying here! :)  Thank you for any response and again I
apologize if this was sent to the wrong list.
