/* HINT: Search archives @ http://www.indyramp.com/masq/ before posting! /* ALSO: Don't quote this header. It makes you look lame :-) */ Hello everyone. I am newbie to the list, and let me preface the question by letting everyone know that I have read the latest HOW-TO's and the posts on the list before sending this. Here is my dillema: I'm using Kernel 2.4.4 with iptables 1.2.3 I have 2 Windows 2000 clients connected through a switch to my linux box. The linux box has 2 interfaces: - eth0 connected through a cable modem to the internet (gets its IP-Address from dhcpcd: 212.4.84.73) - eth1 connected to the internal network (has the IP-Address 192.168.3.200) - the 2 win2k clients have the addresses 192.168.3.10 and 192.168.3.20 IP Masquerading works fine, but http connections becomes EXTREMELY slow after a few seconds (less than 1 kBytes/sec). Now the really strange thing: If I start Windows 98 instead of Windows 2000 on a client, the same page will be downloaded 10 times faster (~40 kBytes/sec) If I access this page directly from the linux box, using w3m, it becomes as slow as the Win2k client. One example which can be reproduced every time. Download this file http://www.cancellieri.org/updates/personal_full.zip (~6 MB) Win2k: The first 2~5 seconds are fast, afterwards extremely SLOW, less than 1 kBytes/sec Win98: Always fast, average 40 kBytes/sec (less than 2 minutes) Linux: Always SLOW, less than 3 kBytes/sec This phenomenon occurs only with http connects, ftp transfers are always fast, on every plattform. It does NOT depend on the browser, I tried different browsers (e.g. IE 5.5, Opera 5.12, Netscape 4.76). Does anyone have an explanation and a solution for this problem or similar experience?? Thanks in advance.
