Hi list,
I have a Linux box (6.3) routeing my internal net to the outside world. I use ipcains masquerading.
Here's what I've got (very simple):
ipchains -F ipchains -I forward -j MASQ
I know, it's not safe, but this isn't the real thing, but it works this way (to give you a sample of how I do it).
My problem is:
- FTP fails often - Telnet is inbelieveably slow (often no more than 10 chars per minute) - HTTP goes real fast (strangly enough) - other services just fail (ICQ, IRC, VDOLive, etc..)
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I heard something about TOS'ses? Type Of Services? Can anybody explain to me what that means and how I should implement it?
I can't answer all your questions, but I can answer a few. First of all you need to read a little more on masq. There are some modules that you should be running that will fix the ftp, vdo, irc and icq problems. There are a few other programs that have trouble though like netmeeting. There is a module for that also now but I don't think it runs on all kernels. You might check with George T. on that. I know he was playing with it. If you get those modules set up then most of your problems will end. There is a script that you can set up in your config in yast that will load the modules for you. Do a little poking around and you will find it. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.
