Subject:   NAT/Gateway routing problems?
Message-ID:  <20000404134336.A35647@enterprise.sanyusan.se>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have an old Compaq P60/16MB RAM box with 2 NIC's (3Com 509) setup as
our NAT box here at my company.

I use FreeBSD-4.0-RELEASE on this box.

We have 212.209.55.80/28 as our "real" IP numbers.

I use 192.168.4.1 for our local NAT LAN.

from rc.conf:

ifconfig_ep0="inet 212.209.55.82  netmask 255.255.255.240"
ifconfig_ep1="inet 192.168.4.17  netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultrouter="212.209.55.81"
gateway_enable="YES"

I have a kernel with:

options         IPFIREWALL
options         IPDIVERT  

to allow natd to work.

It works fine, except its damn slow to be honest.

If I for example should do a ftp install of FreeBSD on a box on my local
LAN, a box with IP 192.168.4.19 for example.

I have a FreeBSD mirror at 212.209.55.83.

All our 192.168.4. hosts are connected to a 3com SuperStack 3300 switch
and our "public" IP's are connected to a 3com SuperStack 1000 switch.

ep0 in my gw box is connected to the "internet" switch and the ep1 card
is connected to the "local" switch.

I start the ftp install of FreeBSD and I get very bad transfer rates,
bad means in this case about 4kb/s transfer rates!

So I figures something must be wrong here. Maybe I need to setup some
routing tables?

Please help me out here.

If you want more information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
