CM----LAN-----NAT box I noticed a similar issue when set up using the latter method while I was testing out a NAT setup so my roommates could still use the net using ISP assigned IPs. It went away when I did things the right way (the first method). About the transfer rates...try unplugging the cable modem, waiting about a minute, then plug it back in. When I used to do tech support for @Home, this fixed a good 90% of the calls I got. This trick also works with elevator controllers where I work, as I discovered about an hour ago when the damn thing crashed and kicked on the emergency brakes with two people inside. Seems with embedded devices like CMs and elevator controllers, rebooting them makes them just work again. If that doesn't work in fixing your transfer rates, call your cable company. Most companies take action when transfer rates drop below an average of 50kB/sec from everywhere. -- .''`.
