Re: named problem...

The gist of your problem is that the registrar resolves your host during registration. This means that dynamic names won't work. What you need, then, is some service that would mirror your domain, and would supply the front end you need. You can try soa.grantiecanyon.com, if they are still up,

Bezeq ADSL setup

This is partially OT, but I believe in the general interest of all (who use or ever plan to use ADSL). Here's what I figured out from using it/reading the list/reading Mulix's excelent howto, and talking to lots of friends who also did this: If I understand correctly, your home box (let's call

It is my complete guess that the Linux 'NAT' code forwards packets and only rewrites the source IP/port address on outgoing packets and does not modify the packet in any other way (like fragmenting it). Someone correct me if I am wrong ;) You're both correct and incorrect. You're looking

Linux downloads too slow

When using Windows to load a tiny Java applet from a server on our LAN, it takes less than 5 seconds to load the applet. However, from Linux (RedHat 7.1) it takes nearly 4 minutes !! It's not a Netscape problem either -- I tried using 'wget' on the command line and it also took way too long

The MTU limit is because bezeq uses a fast ATM backbone for the whole ADSL operation. ATM works with little packets. Also, even in LANs, system administrator rarly give a MTU larger than 8K since this tends to slow down RTT (round trip time). In most LANs I know, the MTU on all machines on

Ok, I'll add my 4 cents. That's two for the fragmantation mechanism, and two for the all hosts on the network question. I'm afraid nothing of what I say will actually answer the original question. First - fraging: When a router receives a packet which is too big to transfer to the next hop,
