Done, and it looks like it is working the same as it was. > > When I watch pppstats it appears that when netscape begins it gets full > > bandwidth ~3k/s, then in between 5-25 sec it drops way down, usually 0 > > except for a few hits. > > Are you sure the problem is with your router? Fairly, I just don't know what component of it is having the problem. The linux server was just installed to take the place of a NT server running 'NetShare'. I just found with ifconfig that my ppp link is reporting frame errors. I also am looking for where to set 'TCP Sliding window' I don't know if this could be worth pursuing. > Have you tried the same experiment using different client machines, > and/or from different networks (i.e., ones that do not use this machine > as their gateway)? All of the machines behind the masq server have the problem. As I said the email worked before, although the path is now different (configured as dirrect connect, where it was configured as some sort of proxy). Also since this is intermittent I was assuming it had to do with packets getting funneled in different order through the masq. (I don't have a clue) Finially while going over HOWTO/*/IP-MASQ* files, I seen that I should have mtu and mru > 1500, so I just changed that back. > Jim B. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for the quick help
