OK, I unplugged the cable modem, disabled the external NIC in Astara, rerouted the patch cable from the Astara to the modem (bypassing the SonicWall), plugged in the modem (waited 60+ seconds), waited about 10 seconds and activated the external NIC in Astara, watched for IP connections to come up. I then ran speedtest.net and received between 1.25M and 1.35M download. I tried changing the external NIC to half-duplex and MTU to 576 - couldn't even run the speedtest. Changed NIC to full-duplex and MTU back to 1500, repatched through the SonicWall (without rebooting anything) and I'm back to 12+M on speedtest.net.
ARG!!!!

OK, I'll give it another try. Might not be until Thursday night before I have time though. In the meantime here are some hardware answers:
Cable Modem: Scientific Atlanta 2100
Cable Provider: Time Warner Cable (supposedly 12M down and 415k up)
Brand new CAT5e patch cable between modem and Asatara.
Astara box: Dell as I mentioned before with 4Gig RAM
WAN Nic: (PCI card) 3Com 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] - at least that is what Asatara says it is.
LAN Nic: (On-board) Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express
