Very Computer

G'day. Fresh OpenBSD 2.5 install.
Got pppd running, via a 56k modem into local ISP.
Pulling down a 1.8MB PDF to the machine at about 7KB/s.
That's very reasonable.

Pulling it down to Linux box, on the other side of the ethernet interface
via NAT, and we're seeing 1.5 - 1.8KB/s.

ipnat.rules just consists of: map ppp0 Our.Class.C.96/27 -> ppp0/32

The hardware's diminutive (ISA NE2000, DX2/66 & 16MB RAM) but its only moving
stuff across to wire to one client...

Any reasons leap to mind as to why its so slow..?

Cheers

ive had this problem before, turn out my ethernet card was bad. see how
fast
a file transfers between the linux and bsd box. if its still 1.5-1.8KB
try
another card.
