I've set up a p133 as a firewall/gateway with 2 NIC's one for outside
traffic and one for internal traffic, the internal NIC is a 3com 905B
using the xl driver. It connects to another 905B over crossover cable to
my windows machine. When doing ftp transfers between the 2 internal boxes
performances is poor at the best, 202kB/sec. I've forced both nics to
100baseTX full-duplex but to no avail, the speed doesn't differ at all
from 10baseT/UTP half-duplex or any combination there of.
I'm running NAT with rl0 as the natd_interface.
Can anyone give me some hints as to what to look for?
