2610 Nat or problem with browsing web

I've had a 2610 sitting my closet for some time. I added a NM1E (I think that's the model number) for an additional ethernet port.

I'm setting this up at home for the practice, but have hit what looks like to be a NAT issue. Let me start by saying I'm online and NAT is working, sometimes. I'm connecting this to my Cable Modem.

I setup an external ping from my pc, so I can monitor dropped packets or lack of internet access. ping 205.152.144.23 -t. Internet browsing is slow and sparatic. Sometimes it loads quickly, other times it kinda loads and then after a minute or two, it finishes loading. While these pauses happen in the web browsing, my pings start timing out and the first packet to reply has a ping of like 3000+ms.

The funny thing, EVERYTHING else works. Niece is playing World of Warcraft while I'm on Teamspeak, xfire, both on msn messenger. Browsing the web continues to be sluggish.

Putting in this command helped a ton for browsing the internet. Prior to decreasing it, it was almost impossible to browse the web. ip tcp adjust-mss 1200

Also, during the time outs and pauses, when I do a sh ip nat stat, the MISSES and EXPIRED TRANSLATIONS increase.

Here's more info, all help is apprecaited, thanks!

I ran a few speed tests on dslreports.com as well. My results:

dslreports.com speed test result on 2006-10-08 11:26:16 EST:

218 / 424 Your download speed : 218 kbps or 27.3 KB/sec. That is 94% worse than an average user on adelphia.net Your upload speed is much faster than down.. have you tweaked?

Your upload speed : 424 kbps or 53.1 KB/sec. That is 24% worse than an average user on adelphia.net

So upload speed looks great, but download should be 5000+ kbps.

MISSES mean a new nat translation was created, essentially a new connection for one of your inside hosts. EXPIRED TRANSLATIONS mean a translation was removed because it was no longer being used. Taken together, and if the size of the increase is large, for some suitable definition, it implies that there is enough extra traffic from one of your hosts at those times to make the web browsing 'sluggish' as you say.

If you make these changes to your config:

! Get millisecond timestamps on log messages service timestamps debug datetime msec service timestamps log datetime msec ! ! Logging to the console can be a big performance hit no logging console ! ! Create a ~256KB in memory logging buffer logging buffered 256000 ! ! Log NAT translations as they come and go ip nat log translations syslog !

You can then telnet to your router and do a "show log" and you might see some/many messages like the ones below. Using the timestamps you can figure out if there is a correlation with your browser slowdowns.

I'm really not sure what you want me to find in those logs. It's full of created and deleted.

Also, what about the bandwidth issue? I have 6mb cable, yet I'm getting under 300k. Any other ideas?
