I tried to stop Squid and restart the DNS; still not solve the problem (;;connection timed out). How do you tell Squid to take only 80% of the bandwidth? My PIX keeps getting Input Packet Errors (the number of errors keeps increasing). I am not sure what causes this. Maybe that makes it very slow. And the MRTG graphs shows only 3.5k for my 1 Mbps link. I think, that is the main cause. Sorry to bother you all around. Let me try to resolve my PIX problem first. Well, it is out of topic but may I ask if anyone has an idea of what's wrong with my PIX or my local network? What could cause Input Packet errors? Thank you all again; I'm very much greatful.
