Hi,

Yes, but I was thinking that maybe some of the TCP/IP
stuff goes haywire when the machine is masquerading
for others, as it did work fine before it was a
gateway.

Yes, I think it may be a routing problem. I don't
think DNS is an issue, as performance remains this way
after names are resolved.
The machines are numbered 192.168.0.x, the gateway in
question has an IP of 203.56.8.98*, and it's private
IP is 192.168.0.254.
Here is the output from route (formatted to fit):

If someone could kindly comment on this, that would be
great. I don't know what the first entry is doing
there, but the rest looks reasonable to me...
