Very Computer

I am using FreeBSD 2.1.0 on a dual-homed pc, one ethernet card (ed0) for local
network xxx.xxx.22.0 and another (ed1) goes to the internet xxx.xxx.228.0. I
set the default route to my internet router at xxx.xxx.228.x. The links in
local (Windows 95s) is quite slow, except a Linux box. I think it might because
it's because of wrong route settings. It seems that only one default route is
allowed and I want to know if I can set different default route to each
ethernet card. I tried to use route add -net xxx.xxx.22.0 localhost (my local)
but it doesn't work. (I used to use Linux on this pc and in Linux, just add two
default route to different networks and everything goes OK.) I do not want to
enable ip-forwarding and do not run routed. I read the 2.1.0 handbooks
and the FAQs but can not find how to do this. Thanks for any suggestions.
BTW, it does not seem like a dns problem, I use NIS at local and things are
going fine.
BTW, 1. does anybody know any FreeBSD mirror site in PRChina has versions
greater than 2.1.0? 2. If I use a Linux box with shadow password as a NIS
server, can m FreeBSD box run NIS client fine (/etc/shadow->/etc/master.passwd)?

1. I have two ethernet card on a Freebsd box pc, ed0 to internet ed1 to
local.

2. I found that the local connection is slow and not reliable, while the
internet connection works perfectly.
3. I do not know why, and tried adding static routes and fails.

4. As another case which might has relation with this problem, I also met
some problem during installation. I use ftp installation from a site
inside China. When I set internet-connected netcard to ed1 and local to
ed0, the installation always fails. And the system auto-load some
interfaces which I did not assign, like ppp connection via lpt0. When I
swtich back the ed0 and ed1 setting, it works but not reliable, often
break during the installation. I have to set ONE ed0 to the internet
connection and disabled the ed1, and thus the systems works fine. It
should not be my pc or netcards' problem, since I have running Linux
1.2.x and Linux 2.0.x on it for more than a year and everything works
fine.

Thanks for any further suggestions and best regards,
