hi all ! i have set up a linux adsl router and i have enabled masq and ipchains on it. so far i can do everything from my windows box behind it (mail/irc/web/ and so on) except napster. i read the napster+masq howto and i read various deja topics about this issue. this is what i did to get it working : 1) i opened my firewall to all connections coming from port 8888 or port 8875 (the napster servers) 2) i did a portfw for ports 6699 and 6700 to my local win box. 3) forwarding is enabled (of course, otherwise i wouldnt be able to use all the other services) napster still remains at "geting info" state and never begins downloading. i use napster 2.0 beta6 has anybody ideas about this ? and one furhter question : i just got a 512/64 adsl line, and i am using it over the linux router. now when i am accessing websites, speed is REALLY slow, i think my earlier isdn line was faster than this. (i am heavily disappointed) i tuned the win settings with the tune program from speedcorp which made it a little faster, but it still sucks ! on the other hand i can get (at really good times, from servers in my country) max. 50 kB/s download rate. can anybody give an advice on how to "tune" the linux router or the win box ? greets --quay ------------------------------ -Quaylar- Icq# 30932448 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <!
