Poor NAT throughput - how to resolve?

Hello,


I am running a 3 PC (1 W2K Pro, 2 ME <- unfortunately :) network. We have a 1.5 MB DSL line coming in, and when each PC was directly connected to our 4-port hub, the internet flew... each PC (if the only one connected at the time) could see download speeds of 135K/sec up to 170+K/sec. Life was good :)

Then I decided to &quot;upgrade&quot; the network, so I setup a new Win2k Server on a Duron 800 box with 2 10/100 NICs. Set up RRAS and NAT -- gave all my workstations 192.168.0.x addresses (changing from the previous public addresses). I even ditched the hub and installed a true 100 8-port switch! And everything is &quot;working&quot; great... but performance sucks!!

Where I used to regularly see at least 135K/sec download speed, I only see ~40K/sec. Throughput on the server is still nice: usually 100-125K/sec, but none of my clients are seeing anywhere near what they're &quot;used&quot; to.

So how do I go about finding out where all the throughput is disappearing??


TIA,
--RHYNO
