Hello all, I'm just getting started as a small ISP (I hear ya... 'oh no another newbie'). Anyway... I seem to be having (I assume) some difficulty with my network. Here's why I think so: If I ping the main server (running FreeBSD 2.1) from another host on an outside network, the round trip time seems to be way-high (900-999ms). If I try to ping the main-server from another host, a Linux-box, on the local network, the times still appear to be high (700-800ms). Now here's what's intersting, any pings to or from Linux box, inside or outside the local network (except for the main-server) appear to be rather speedy (inside 0.1-0.8ms, outside 60-80.0ms ranges). Doing most anything from the main-server across the network seems awful _slow_. I have a 56k-FR connection, the main-server is FreeBSD2.1 with no load on it; the Linux-box on the local network is serving as the gateway. Any ideas? Could my routing be hosed, although I can reach other remote sites? Any help, or direction pointing would be appreciated. Thanks! -Mark
