The PC running it all is an AMD Athlon 550MHz with a 3com 10Mbps vortex NIC acting as the external interface. I also have an A-open 10Mbps NIC connected to my home LAN. MY computer does double as a workstation but I have seen no performance loss in running a few apps when MASQing internet traffic. I was only curious to see if statically configuring my routing table for my internet host would increase overall system operformance, but I suppose when only MASQing for two other machines routing has no real afect on performance.
