The firewall on the DSL is an Athlon XP 1500+. The firewall on the ISP line is a PII 333. I will check on the full/half duplex issue.

Both on Mandrake 8.1 running iptables. I currently have two internet connections (one is a DSL line at 1Mb, the other is straight from an ISP at 2.5 Mb). I can get 700Kb speeds through the firewall on the DSL line (which is about as fast as it ever is) but I only get about 500Kb speeds through the firewall on the ISP line. Shouldn't I be able to get at least 2Mb speeds through this firewall? > > At least you can be almost assured that your problems have nothing to > do with iptables and it's NAT.
