If you're using a DSL provider like Verizon which uses PPPoE, you might try adjusting your MTU down to 1490 or so, or else you will fragment large data packets and encounter quite a slowdown. Use something like this in your /etc/rc.conf file: ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1490" ...or run ifconfig directly and see whether this helps. -- -Chuck
