I have re-structured the "IP Masquerading is slow" FAQ section
in version 1.82 of the HOWTO to include this testing.

>> DLink DE-220 ISA combo card as eth0 (external interface)
>> Full duplex changed to half duplex (saw it on D. Ranch's forum)
>> IRQ10 remained the same
>> DLink DE-220 ISA ...as eth1 (internal interface)
>> Full duplex changed to half duplex
>> IRQ3 changed to IRQ12 (eliminated the possible conflict with COM2 port)

>I am almost certain that changing to half duplex is what fixed your
>problem. "Full duplex" means that the ethernet card is able to send a
>packet at the same time that it is receiving one. However, on most
>hub-based ethernets, this is impossible, and the sending packet will
>collide with the receiving packet, causing a collision error and
>requiring the protocols to re-send.

>Only a direct-connect (via "crossed" cable) or a real switched ethernet
>can be set to full duplex.
