router being slow

[Rudy Gevaert <rudy@zeus.rug.ac.be>]

Hello,

I recently (a couple of months ago) installed a router, debian stable
with ipchains for firewall.

The problem is that when I am using a pc that is after the router is
slow.

E.g. sshing to a box outside my network goes fine, but after a
couple of minutes the connection is gone for a couple of seconds.  And
after those seconds it goes fine again.

The delay is only noticable using telnet/ssh/ftp.  When I check my modem
the lights on it don't lighten up, what's correct because no data is
passing by.

Now the problem could be at the side of my ISP (but that is unlikely),
so it must be my router.

Where should I start looking?

Thanks in advance,
