I run an RFC LAN, with two NIC interfaces - one being the public
interface that connects to Comcast.
FreeBSD NATD runs on the external interface. As of FreeBSD-6, it can
be told to run off the internal one. I don't really know if there's any
benefit to that, though.
Most of these issues have been making me rethink the "lazy man approach"
that I have, and create a real, dedicated firewall.
Thank you.

I was using Intel 10/100 cards (dual port). I also had Kensingtons.
It could also be due to other factors, such as my running FreeBSD's
natd. But, I did notice that SMB file browsing was much more fast
when I updated to the new machine.
LAN activities, like SMB browsing, aren't affected by your firewall at
all (unless you're running two network segments and routing between
them with the firewall).
A 400 MHz is very quick, by firewall standards, if you aren't routing
between LAN's. I run my 6.0/512 cable modem primarily on a Soekris
4501 (486 133 MHz), with power to spare (m0n0wall 1.2, FreeBSD 4.11).
