It makes you look lame :-) */ Hi all, I am having a few problems with IP masquerading being VERY slow. I have gotten to work successfully (sorta). Here are the problems I am having. First, when I browse the Internet from my client machines, I am getting terrible connection speeds. Downloading anything or even opening web pages takes forever. Furthermore, I have noticed that the connection times out. Restarting the network module will restore the connection. I have a cable modem from AT&T @home. My masq script is very simple in efforts to try and pin down the problem. /sbin/depmod -a /sbin/ipchains -M -S 7200 10 160 /sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY /sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ In an effort to speed up the Internet I have setup a cacheing-only DNS server. I have yet to see any performance gains. One interesting thing I found is that when I connection timeouts, the bandwidth is boosted to what is normally should be and then times out within a few seconds. Btw, I am using kernel version 2.2.16. I did look in the faq about setting the mtu to 1500, but because I am using ethernet cards they are already set 1500 by default. I don't know what else to check or do? >From what I understand, any client machines should be just as fast as if the cable modem were directly connected to the PC. Or is this normal operation for IP masq? I have the linux box being a gateway with two windoze boxes as clients. I am using a P133 with 16mb of ram as the linux box. This should be sufficient right? Any help would be appreciated.
