I'm trying to get a router/firewall box up and running with a new Asus p4p800 board, with a 3com gigabit lan. I had little or no trouble installing the drivers for the card, and everything appears fine. I can ping out from the system and all seems well. However when the box is hooked up as a router, no traffic is getting through. I have installed webmin on the system and when it is remotely connected to from a local lan, it is incredibly slow, to the point where some pics are visible on the webmin interface but never do load. Does anybody know if this is a network settings configuration error? Or some issue with the card? I have nothing else to try.
Hmmmm, thanks Yoss, I hadn't thought of checking that, but the kernel is configured to route packets. Is there somewhere else in a network configuration file where routing should be enabled for the card?
