Hi!
 
My configuration:
=================

O-------------o    O-----------------------o
|    WinXP    |    |    eth0     |   eth1  |
| 10.10.1.100 |----| 10.10.1.254 | D H C P |----INTERNET
|             |    |             |         |
O-------------o    O-----------------------o
  My Computer           My NAT-Computer

NAT-Computer:
  Linux 2.4.20-4GB
  load average: 0.08, 0.05, 0.06
  iptables v1.2.7a
All the NICs I use are 3com 3C905-TX

When I do some bandwidth tests on the NAT-Computer
(provider's service page) my bandwidth is about 1MBit/second
When I do the same on my computer I only get about 100kbit/second

Now I wonder if there are any problems with my configuration...?
Would be nice if you could help me...

Thanks in advance

The rules look a little unusual; in fact, they look downright
dangerous.  You may want to read a good iptables tutorial such as the
one by Oskar Andreasson.  You can find a link to it on the netfilter.org
web site.  You can also find some slide shows in the training section at
http://iscs.sourceforge.net 

However, I do not think your rules would create a throughput problem. 
How are you measuring your throughput?

Now i tried to use a script sufggested by Oskar Andreasson
http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html#RCFIREWALLTXT

But the problem is still the same...
I think there is another problem...

When i configure&start squid on the NAT-Computer i have full bandwidth...

I don't know what to do anymore...

Thanks in advance
Florian St.
