High CPU usage when forwarding packets

2003-03-07 Thread Bruce Cran
I've just setup a P75 system as a router, containing fa311 and pcnet network cards. The fa311 is doing nat to my private network, which is served by the pcnet card. However, I've found that it often uses 40% cpu just to send packets from the fa311 (sis) to the pcnet (lnc) cards. natd uses 20%,
