I did that as I found it on a thread from the Net, but did not solve the
problem.

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.
