Ok I am about to kill myself
I originally had a P233MMX machine with 2NIC both 10/100. I was using
Windows 2000 as my router so that anyone on my network can surf. Now I,
in the past two weeks have been killing myself trying to switch it over
to linux. Now I kept the win2k machine so that everyone can surf while I
am working on my Linux machine. I installed Mandrake 7.2 onto a P200MMX.
It has had one 10/100 NIC and one 10NIC, however the 10 did not work so i
replaced it. Now it has two 10/100 NIC. I am currently connected to
ROgers@home with DHCP (on my win2k). It took me forever to setup my
Mandrake machine to get on the net. To get it on my network was a hell of
a lot easier. Now I have had enough trouble trying to setup IP MASQ. I
gave up and used the mandrake's DrakX Internet Sharing. So I was finally
able to surf the net from my internal netowrk. However the piece of crap
is running very very slow, where I could get upto 250K from tucows, i only
get 30K, and it takes me forever to surf.
So, after talking with my friend, I decided to reinstall linux (To be
realistic, I would have I have installed it about 10 times in the past two
weeks, I can do the mandrake installtion as a bloody expert now cause I
know it so well) My friend and I finally go it to IP MASQ again manually
typing in the basic 3-5 lines (i was gonna the firewall code later)
however the piece of shit was still running slow. I have once again
reinstalled it. Now can anyone tell me what the hell I am doing wrong?
Does someone up there not like me or something? This problem is main
reason that I am still sticking to Microsoft.
Now I read throught the howto, it said something about changing the auto
neg to 10Mbs and to either full or half ( i have no clue which it should
be). If anyone can help me I would greatly apprechiate it. I am
considering installed Mandrake 8.0 beta just to see if it makes a bloody
difference. I am even loading mandrake 7.2 on my win2k mahine to see if
it makes a difference.
Here is some background. In my linux machine, I am using a tulip and a
realteak card. I have a 10/100 8 port switch and my internal network
consists of 3 machines (hopefully more) ranging from intel 733eb, atholon
700, and 1GH
If anyone can help, please tell me, I am think I am going to snap
Thanks
nadin
