I've a small network, 1 windows 95 (192.168.1.2) and 1 linux box
(192.168.1.1). The linux box is connected to the Internet by modem. I use
IP masquerading to enable the windows 95 box to get on the Internet. I
think I have most of it working. The only problem left is that the
connection on the windows 95 box gets very slow most of the time. My
browser often stalls for several minutes in the middle of a page. The same
thing goes for the other applications like usenet and e-mail. On the linux
side everything goes smooth.
Here are some settings:

As soon as my PPP connection gets active I see the following error twice on
the linux box. Don't know if it is related to the problem:
modprobe: can't locate module binfmt-0
I cannot find this module in modprobe -c. Anyone know what this module is?
I used to have a simular message for ppp but this disapeared when I made
PPP a module in the kernel.
I get the impression packets get dropped somewhere, but have no idea where
to look. I've done some experimenting with tcpdump with no effect (mainly
because I'm lacking experience with it I guess).
Any suggestions, ideas are most welcome.
Regards,
Luc
