Hello Everyone I have an IBM Thinkpad, P-120 with 40MB ram working as the gateway for my network. I'm running IPFW, currently using the default rc.firewall -OPEN ruleset. Everything seems to work very well (with the odd exception of my not being able to access random sites, like www.real.com ...but that's another issue) _functionally_ but the performance of the machine is in question right now. I would say 90 percent of the online applications I use work perfectly well. The exception is gaming. I'm an avid Counter-Strike player, and whenever I'm logged into a server I get some really bad lag spikes. I've got a 640d/90u DSL connection through Verizon, and this only happens when I'm using the BSD box as the gateway...if I connect the gaming PC directly, the problem goes away. I have a 3com 10mbit pcmcia card on the outside interface and a Linksys 10/100 pcmcia card on the inside interface. My suspicion is the Linksys card, purely because I have had latency problems when gaming with PCI Linksys cards in the past. Is there any way, short of replacing the card, that I can determine if this is the case? And, if anyone has any other suggestions as to what might cause this problem I would be greatly appreciative Thanks in Advance, -Tony To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
