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. -- Kevin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
