> Sounds like your gateway does not know its hosts No.. since the traffic from the gateway to the hosts is slow it is there.. and the gateway and the hosts are in the same segment more than this the traffic from the hosts to the gateway is *very fast* so the ack packets from the gateway make their way..
The fact is that in the gateway I have an old ISA ne2000 card and in the host new pci cards so what I suspect is that the good cards are taking the channel much more efficiently. Anyway today I will buy a good network card and I will know.. IP masquerade works!! but it has taken two days for me to realize that the problem is in the network cards.. I think that this would be a very good candidate case for the FAQ.. :) Thank you!
