[TriLUG] why is it slow?

[jason watts]

thanks guys for all the help

ill probly stick to the local address and have everyone else use my external 
address.

still wonder why the old router didnt have a problem with the u-turns... 
maybe it had something built into it.

anyways, thanks for the info
jsn
