Hi! At last I have resolved my problems.. an entire weekend checking my kernel, my routes.. etc.. and at the end:
* It was a problem with my gateway's network card!!!!!!!!! I was reusing an old ne-2000 ISA clone and I suspect the newers pci cards were much more efficient taking control over my cable (I am using BNC it is an small LAN by now) so the channel hosts->gateway were fast while the gateway->hosts were completely inefficient.. Take care with this!!!! See you!! ip-masquerade its working GREAT now!! :) Regards Roberto ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roberto Diaz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://vivaldi.dhis.org Powered by GNU running on a Linux kernel.
