when downloading behind my linux router i get around 200kbps but the upload is 1.4mbps. (i have a t1). If i am on the outside network i can download just fine. is this an iptables problem?

here is the basic script i am using. eth0=internal eth1=external

#enable ip forwarding
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

#firewall, flush everything
iptables -F INPUT
iptables -F OUTPUT
iptables -F FORWARD
iptables -F -t nat

#transmit all packets
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT

#masquerade
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -s 192.168.0.0/16 -j MASQUERADE

#loopback
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -s 0/0 -d 0/0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -s 0/0 -d 0/0 -j ACCEPT

#internal traffic
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT

#connections between internal network and firewall
iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -j ACCEPT


thanks for the help.

also. when i run ifconfig there are no errors and no dropped packets.

I'm having this same problem. Some one on another board suggested it could be fixed by a tcpmss rule, but that doesn't seem to affect it.

i could not find a fix. i just reinstalled the os, and now it works just fine. sorry.
