ok.... my bad.... I will try to clarify it a little bit. I will just list my symptoms nad not try to draw my own conclusion. Wich most likely will confuse everybody! including myself!....=)

eth0 points to the public! ([10mbit] i.e the internet) eth1 points to my LAN (100mbit) Communication from eth1 to a client on the LAN gives me full speed! When trying to connect to say the FTP server and sending something to my eth1 interface i only get the 10mbit speed. (actually its a DSL modem connected to eth0 but it doesnt matter)

Thats why I thought maybe that my request was bridged straight through to my ISP and then going back to my server. And therefore I only got the same speed as I have out on the internet.



I have looked at X0rfb before.... But it seems that his site is down or something. Because I wasnt able to get it. Anyways I will try again later.

edit:
ps. I will try the ip route command later. I will post the results. Thanks for the help... ds.
