Hey Gang, I've just installed a RHEL5 based desktop (based on beta2) and got hold of openvpn and lzo2 from dag wieers.
My initial install of openvpn (2.0.9), shows connectivity without any problems (as I have been previously using with a RHEL4 based desktop), however very bad network performance. So I recompiled everything (using the src.rpms on dag wieers site) and still the same problem. I've confirmed its not my laptop, but using my compiled RPMs on a completely differnet laptop (still using the RHEL5 based desktop). If I go back to my RHEL4 based laptop, everything performs quite well. My quick analysis of the performance using ping shows that an idle OpenVPN link having a ping response time of a few milliseconds, however, when I connect to a webserver on the other side of the link, the ping response time increases to over 3000 ms - and making everything from the remote network painfully slow. Anybody got any ideas why it might be this way? (Its unusable). ...deon --- Deon George, Tivoli Storage Technical Pre-Sales Specialist, IBM Australia Office: +61 3 9626 6058, Fax: +61 3 9626 6622, Mobile: +61 412 366 816 VOIP: +61 2 8852 3469 mailto:dgeo...@au1.ibm.com, http://ibm.com/tivoli
