i have the sma eproblem, too. ftp downstream is ok, but ftp upstream always loses connection and is extremly slow. any hints? achim

Hey guys, It seems that IP chains is slowing my news and ftp speeds. ipfwadm's forwarding allowed for the usual speeds..just as if the machine behind the gateway were the actual gateway. Since ipchains came around, news is unreadable, because the speeds are 3 bytes a second. FTP'ing within my network has gone from 1200KB/s to about 8KB/s I got a template from freshmeat.net and saw what might have been the solution, but it hasnt worked: Note that i do have CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_TOS compiled into my kernel.

# Set ftp-data for maximum throughput $IPCHAINS -A output -p tcp -d 0/0 ftp-data -t 0x01 0x08 echo -n "."

SuSE didnt have an ftp-data in /etc/services... i tried adding one at port 20 ..but it still didnt work. tried putting in nntp and netnews in place of ftp-data and i'm still getting slow butt speeds.. 35 headers in 5 mintues :(

Other than that..im in love with ipchains :)

Any suggestions?

Thanks! Chrissy
