Hello I just connected a win98 computer to my linux 6.0 box which has connection to the internet with a ethernet card. After I reconfigured and compiled the kernel (2.2.9), I succefully made ip masquerading work. However, the connecting speed of my linux box became considerable lower than before. It will take long time to look up host (5~10s) and sometimes I had to try again to get connection like telnet or ftp. But the pinging speed to my gateway and first DNS server is still fast (<10ms). I'm a newbie. I read most relative howto's and still got no idea. Any grateful pointer: Is it a problem caused by ip masquerading or configuration of kernel? How to solve it?
