[c-nsp] Cisco 2811 performance issue - dual(new) isp

To add to Chuck's questions:

Can you post your FastEthernet0/1 configuration? What exactly is this interface plugged into?

What IOS version are you running?

I think you said this works fine with a computer connected directly to the provider, but just out of curiosity what other device is doing NAT in front of the router closer to the Internet? I'm assuming you're not really connected to Embratel in Brasil seeing as there is no prefix announced on the Internet that includes 200.200.200.0/24.
