Subject: [ppp] low file transfer rate, why?
Date: 24 May 1999 07:23:18 GMT
Hi, friends:
I have a PPP problem:
the file transfer rate is slow (0.95 kB/s) in a PPP-connection
between a win95 client and a LINUX dialup server.
The server is not heavily-loaded
and the DCE speed (speed between modems) is 28800 bps.
I "think" the reasonable transfer rate is 1.7 or 1.8 kB/s.
Server:
Kernel version 2.2.9
pppd version 2.3.8
The server has an Ethernet card to Internet.
The login shell script for ppp users is
#!/bin/bash
trap '' 2 3
exec /usr/sbin/pppd debug lock modem\
crtscts proxyarp passive asyncmap 0\
<serverIP>:<clientIP> netmask 255.255.255.192\
lcp-max-configure 20 -detach
The file '/etc/ppp/options' is empty.
Sincerely,
Yao-Jen

The initial install of smb 1.9.18 would have put everything in /usr/bin (or
something). The make install puts everything under /usr/local/samba.
Unfortunately, the previous version of smb lies first in your path. If you
want to upgrade properly, first make a copy of your smb.conf, and anything
else that may be required after the upgrade, uninstall smb using rpm, and
then make install the new version of smb. Then copy your smb.conf to
/usr/local/samba/etc or /usr/local/etc (or somewhere, check the manual)

Does anybody explain the above situation.

If the HD on the bci and compucrap computers are shared then they can be
mounted. I would suggest using the program LinNeighborhood. It is like
95/98 Network Neighborhood. It works pretty well. You can find it at.

Hey -
I am trying to configure a linux client to go through Wingate for
cable modem services.
I have the network card installed okay.....I think I have tried
every comibination of routes, hosts, dns, etc....
Here is the scenario:
Wingate Machine:
nic#1 ip 192.168.0.1
mask 255.255.255.0
gateway 24.1.218.77
dns entries: 24.1.240.33
24.1.240.34
nic#2 ip 24.1.218.77
mask 255.255.252.0
gateway 24.1.216.1
dns entries: 24.1.240.33
24.1.240.34
Linux box:
ip 192.168.0.2
I can ping 192.168.0.1
24.1.218.77
when I traceroute, the first response is Unknown host
the second shows the ip but goes no further (wingate cant handle a
traceroute through)
On my linux box, should I enter info in 'Routes to other Networks' ,
'Routes to other hosts' or both? What should the values be?
I can ftp to wingate, and from there, ftp out. That is the total of my
success.
Any help is definately appreciated.

Subject: token ring driver - performance questions?
Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 09:06:46 GMT
Hi all,
I'm using linux in a token-ring environment at work and am setting up a
caching web proxy using Squid on the machine.
It doesn't appear that the standard token ring driver is sharable, so I
can't do any load balancing using more than one card which is a pity.
Has anyone used this driver in anger though (the standard token ring one
that ships with all kernels; I'm using 2.0.36) as I'm concerned about
the performance of the driver itself. It does seem robust enough, but
Squid seems suprisingly slow even given the less-than-ideal hardware
I'm running this on (P166 PC, 2 x 2GB IDE disks with web cache on its
own disk, 64MB memory) and so I'm leaning towards the token ring driver
being the bottleneck at the moment...
Any comments welcome, please copy via email though... :)
cheers
Jules

Many people have had problems with 3c905 cards and older Linux

The ISA card is NE2000 compatible (ne.o) and should work fine if you
take the card *out* of PnP mode first; the PCI 10/100 card uses the
DEC Tulip driver (tulip.o).

Subject: IP Masquerading Connecting but not working
Date: Sun, 23 May 1999 20:10:37 +1000
At this stage the information I have is a little vague but there may be
enough here for someone to offer some suggestions.
I had a working IP masquerading server running Debian 2.1 (Kernel 2.0.36). I
upgraded the kernel to 2.2.8 (by hand compiling it etc, as opposed to using
the package manager, for which 2.2.8 wasn't available). Things still worked.
I then, in order to install the ICQ masquerading module, installed (using
dselect) ipautofw (Automatic Packet Forwarding i believe) and on top of that
I installed Squid with the idea to set up a caching http proxy. It was after
the next restart that my IP masquerading, although it on the surface
appeared to work, really didn't.
>From the computers on the local network you can start to connect to a web
site but it will not get beyond "Site found, waiting for reply". Simularly
when checking email it can connect, authorise and then say downloading
message 1 of 10, but it doesn't get beyond that (ie, no progress into the
download). ICQ also works a little. It connects, you can see who is on, but
when you try to get someones info it complains you are not on the internet.
The rules in IPChains havn't changed since it was working.
Any Suggestions?
