When you are doing things on the gateway they will not get masqueraded!
Only the ones behind the gateway machine will get masqueraded.  This is
not the problem.
And since the machines behind the gateway work fine I suspect that the
problem is with the gateway machine's browsing setup - possibly DNS,
routing.

[SLUG] IP masq timeouts question

2000-10-24 Thread Alex JuniorBurger 

Hi,
 I have a bunch of machines connected to the net
behind my Linux gateway (with optus cable) that all
get fine speeds. The gateway itself however, is
extremely sluggish eg. firing off a http request for a
US site might result in 10Kb/s, then suddenly die off.
Pages will arrive in a few minutes if they are under
50K!
 Someone mentioned a while back that this could be due
to IP masq timeout values. The closest thing I found
in the IP masq HOWTO was:


#  10 sec timeout for traffic after the TCP/IP "FIN"
packet is received
/ipchains -M -S 7200 10 60

I'm not sure if this really relates to the problem I
am having (I am not having TCP sessions timeout
quickly)?
 This is a big inconvenience for me, so any help at
all would be appreciated.

Regards,
Alex
