Hello all i have setup a P133/32M box with FreeBSD 4.5R as a gateway to my net. For testing purposes, I have the firewall set to 'open'. I have a cable modem and use DHCP. From my private box, Athlon 1.2/512DDR, I can ping anywhere just fine. For example, I can ping cvsup7.freebsd.org (my fastest mirror) with no problem, however, when I attempt to 'cvsup' the ports, my throughput speed is reduced _severely_! In fact, I get very little activity at all. I see: Connected to cvsup7.freebsd.org #several seconds later Updating collection ports-all #several minutes later Editing.....(whatever it says there..) and that's about it. If I disconnect from the gateway and reconfigure the private box directly with DHCP , its faster than hell. I am wondering if this is the expected result for this type of gateway setup? Do I need to use a bigger box for the gateway? Or is it possible that I have settings fouled up somewhere? For info, I have in the kernel: options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPDIVERT in /etc/rc.conf: gateway_enable="YES" firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="OPEN" #temporarily, of course natd_enable="YES" natd_interface="ed1" #my outside NIC I was stoked to get this to work at all, being such a newbie. I could use some suggestions. Thanks in advance, and please cc to me at inspector.us@omicnet.com, as I am not currently subscribed to the list.
