Hi All, I've finally found a Win98 FTP client that works on my Masqueraded network .. FTP Voyager. But the throuput is painfully slow ( about 500 cps ) on an average ..when i have a 64kbps ISDN link .( From a standalone machine on 33.6k modem PPP .. i get 1500 cps at least ) FTP Voyager allows several adjustments in connection properties : Receive and send timeouts ( 61-600 seconds ), send / receive buffers ( 512-65536 bytes ) , Active & passive modes ... What might help ? i) kernel upgrade from 2.2.14 to 2.2.16 ( I run Redhat 6.2 & SuSe 6.4 ) ii) Ethernet card config ? iii ) Any other suggestions ? Regards Anurag -----From a post on a MASQ LIST ----------

I had a couple configuration problems, with one or more of them causing the slowdown. First, I upgraded the kernel to 2.2.14, since www.kernel.org listed "MASQ bug fixes" as one of the updates. This didn't help any, so I continued searching. I updated several things at once, and on the next reboot, it all worked OK. Here's the old configuration vs new config:

DLink DE-220 ISA combo card as eth0 (external interface) Full duplex changed to half duplex (saw it on D. Ranch's forum) IRQ10 remained the same DLink DE-220 ISA ...as eth1 (internal interface) Full duplex changed to half duplex IRQ3 changed to IRQ12 (eliminated the possible conflict with COM2 port) Internal newtwork addresses 192.168.1.x changed to 192.168.0.x - although 192.168.1.x is a valid class-c, I was getting some odd pings so I changed it.
