FTP Transfer Speeds...

When ever I FTP files from the internet over my DSL-connected Linux router box to my Windows machine, depending on the server, I can get a transfer rate of 120k/sec. When I FTP files from my Windows machine to one of my Linux boxes (running SuSE 6.3) the maximum speeds peaks at 35k/sec. If I'm not mistaken, 35k/sec is the maximum that can be reached with a 56k modem. Since none of my linux boxes are directly connected to the internet and I'm the only user, how I can I modify this restriction to allow faster transfers between my machines? Thanks!

I'm thinking that if the hard drive encryption scheme does become widely accepted by government and corporate agencies with high security needs, a legal OSS option will be needed for the Enterprise versions of Linux distributions. I'm making a broad assumption that the company that created this technology will not be stupid enough to deny a legal OSS version since they wouldn't be able to charge a license fee. Then again, this may be a stupid encryption scheme that they might charge large amounts of money for and no one but the government can afford it.

Copy protection into harddisks.

I think it may be worth taking a look at this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/2/15620.html If harddisks with built-in copy protecting protocols are going to set the standard for harddisks, what impact will that have for the open source concept? Will RAID features be possible? Are such harddisk compatible only with a certain Crash OS? Cheers, Niels

I had a 3 Gig drive in my machine running Suse 7 and I upgraded to a 20 Gig drive. It's a laptop. Now, the card works fine as the machine dual boots with Win 98 and that works fine via dhcp, I have done the setup just as I did it on the 3 Gig drive... using YaST Any ideas where I can start looking to trouble shoot this? Can I manually cause the machine to use dhcp via. the prompt after it boots? thanks, Ahbaid. -- Ahbaid Gaffoor Oracle DBA InteractiveFunds.com 972-404-8100 ext. 44 ahbaid.gaffoor(a)iexchange.com

Strange Network Probs

Message-ID: <01C06F5C.33C81980@andrew> From: Andrew Smith <andrew(a)andrewsmith.plus.com> Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2000 16:51:40 -0000 Subject: Strange Network Probs Hi I have 3 machines: ANDREW - Win95 - 3C905B PCI NIC - 192.168.10.20 ALPHA - Win95 - 3C509B ISA NIC - 192.168.10.15 TAU - SuSE 6.1 - 3C509B ISA NIC - 192.168.10.2 Lets ignore ALPHA for now to make things a bit simpler... ANDREW and TAU are connected via a 10BaseT hub. I had problems with TAU using the BNC port instead, although this was fixed by a 3COM DOS utility. Now, both lights on my hub light up. Both machines boot fine and the network driver module is loaded on TAU. My problem now is that all network traffic (including ping) doesnt 'work'. Pinging from TAU to ANDREW results in a 100% packet loss, even though both lights on the hub flash. Pinging from ANDREW to TAU results in four "Request timed out" messages, but this time, only ANDREW's light flashes on the hub. I have made sure ipchains is flushed and input, forward and output all allowed. I have also made sure the firewall (ZoneAlarm) on ANDREW is disabled. I want to be able to use TAU as a internet gateway & firewall (I know how to do that) but that aint gonna happen till this is fixed! ANDREW and ALPHA can talk to eachother & share files fine. I did have ALPHA and TAU connected via BNC and working fine until it just stopped working one day (with the same problem). Incidently, it stopped working at the same time the CMOS got wiped (left TAU switched on but unplugged, (AFIK) thus draining the CMOS battery). And yes, I have made sure PnP BIOS Auto Config has been disabled :) And it's not a problem with the NICs as I have a number of them, all of which cause the same symptoms. Any help would be very gratefully appreciated, Many Thanks, Andrew Smith :o)

Linux / Lucent Modem driver

Message-ID: <3A48BB21.D57F4163(a)freeler.nl> Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2000 16:37:05 +0100 From: R C Leembruggen <r.c.leembruggen(a)freeler.nl> Subject: Linux / Lucent Modem driver I have been trying for months to get my Toshiba Satellite 2100 CDS Notebook Winmodem to work with Caldera Linux 2.4 (kernel 2-2-14) but failed every time. However after installing SuSE Linux 7.0 and downloading ltmodem-5.78c.tar.gz I now have a perfectly operating integral modem on my Toshiba. Having downloaded the file to /root all I had to do was the following:- # cd /usr/src # tar xzf /root/ltmodem-5.78c.tar.gz # make # ./ltinst2 Being rather ignorant of the Linux programming procedures apparently the point I missed before was that I had to specifically extract the tar.gz file from the /usr/src directory. Passing this on in case there a more out there like me ! Roy Leembruggen

I have two queries that someone may be able to help with: 1. I've downloaded the Lucent driver for my internal modem. Does anyone have an idiots guide to getting it to work. When I try and configure the modem I'm told it doesn't exist. 2. My display is far larger than my actual screen, but does scroll around. How do I resize it using xf86config as Yast doesn't seem to like my setup. Thank you and have a good day. Mark Annandale
