Extremely slow win95->ethernet->linux->(modem PPP) connection.

Post by Ben Greea » Sat, 25 Apr 1998 04:00:00



I just got my second win95 box online.  One downloads web pages
just fine, the newest one also downloads pages, but at only around
36 BYTES/sec.  Sometimes it might reach around 75 or 100 bytes
a second...

The linux box downloads much faster....

Very strange...I just tried the other win95 machine..it downloaded
fine..and that seemed to speed up my other win95 connection as well.

I'm hitting netscape.com, and like I say, the linux box is always fast,
so I don't think it's net lag...

Has anyone else experienced this?

Unfortunately yes.. and I'm unsure of what to do about it.  Haven't had much
luck posting about it, either.

I recently had this problem with a Win95 machine also.  However, mine
manifested itself as a general network slowdown for that machine.  Try coping
data from your 1st Win95 machine to the 2nd one.  If the transfer is really
slow, you probably have the same problem I did.  After spending about 6 hours
trying to restore it's drivers, I finally just gave up and re-installed that
Win95 machine.  That did fix the problem, so I suspect that either the NIC's
driver was corrupt, or the registry was hosed.

Check you're MTU settings on the duff win 95 machine. I've found that this
make a difference. I recommend not setting it to 576 as other sources say.
This slows down our internet connection.

Also make sure it has the latest tcp stack on it ws2setup.exe from
microsoft.

1. Win95/IPX -> IP ->PPP ->Linux ->Novell 3.12

Has anyone tried/been able to get working using Win95 to dialup a PPP
connection (ie: on a Linux box) and pass IPX packets encapsulated within IP?

Novell has IPTUNNEL which can be loaded on their server that allows for
encapsulation/decapsulation of IPX packets for transfering over an IP network.
However, can Win95 do the same thing?

The goal is to connect a remote Win95 system via dialup to a Novell network.
The modems reside on a Linux box also on the network running TCP/IP.  Dialup
SLIP/PPP work fine to the TCP/IP nodes on the network, but I want file sharing
with the Novell system.

Thanks...
