Firewall/NAT

If the hardware support,how much computers can connect to internet via m0n0?
My lan has 600 computers,but only about 250 computers can connect internet via m0n0,if i add the other more computer,then the m0n0 can not work,computer in lan ping the m0n0 LAN is normal,ig <=1,the WAN adapter ping the WAN is normal too,<=1,but the lan ping wan lost too much packet..the time will change to 100 or more..

If you have enough CPU, RAM and bandwidth you can accommodate 600 users, but you could max out your connection state table. It will not track more than 30 000 connections. If this is the case then you might try shortening the TCP idle timeout on the System:Advanced tab. Otherwise try a firewall that supports bigger state tables, such as pfSense.

thank you!,I will try again.

There is no set answer to "how many computers" a given installation can support. It'll vary depending on the hardware capacity, throughput required, and the amount of states needed. You might be able to support a network of thousands of computers with relatively light web surfing, but maybe only 10 computers with extremely heavy P2P use, in either case before exhausting the state table.
