There is nowhere near enough information here to support any serious troubleshooting. We even have to guess about things as basic as whether you are NAT'ing the LAN. Please provide the standard diagnostics listed in the SR FAQ. Include a hardware description, in case this is a NIC or a RAM problem. Also include a description of your Internet connection (DSL? cable? dial-up? DHCP, PPPoE, PPP, or static address?).I have "installed" the Dachstein router on an old Pentium 75 and most everything is working fine. I can ping from one machine to another but getting on the internet from a client machine is a problem. I can bring up a web page but I can only load about a quarter of the page and then it just stops. I have done a search on Kazaa from a client machine and I only receive 7 replies...instead of the normal 100. I'm not sure what's going on here but there seems to be some kind of limit to the amount of info I can download. Does anyone have any idae what's going on here?
Also ... when you say "it just stops", please describe more specifically what you are seeing. Is the result ("only load about a quarter of the page") independent of the size of the page, or is your experience more like being able only to load the first 4 KB of the page, independent of its size? How long do you wait before giving up?
I'm not familiar with Kazaa, but I know that other, similar P2P services have both active- and passive-mode connection options, with NAT'd routers requiring either passive mode or dedicated port forwarding to a simgle LAN machine. Is Kazaa similar in this respect? Might the difference there be the result of switching from active to passive mode?
How do Internet pings behave? If you ping a site (your ISP's gateway is a good candidate for this) with 100 pings, do the response times, or even the number of lost packets, change over the range of 100 responses?
Finally, just to be clear ... have you previously used this external connection with a single computer and not seen these problems? Is the Kazaa difference you report, for example, based on different ways of using this Internet connection?
