[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

Hi, I have a 486 that was to be set up as a gateway, however some strange crashes and suggestions have led me to believe that the memory (physical RAM and/or swap) may be corrupt. I know the HD is old, so I would hope the problem is with bad blocks on the disk, and not with the 8Mb RAM. If so, I

Hi, I have set up a linux powered (RedHat, PII 400) gateway for a few home computers to utilise the @home service. While I can get 200-400 Kb/sec from say mirror.aarnet.edu.au with most of these machines, I find net usage with the gateway itself is almost impossible. The speeds are appalling, for
