Hello again, I am stuck with this problem: I have: One Linux NAT Box. One internet connection. 100 clients in the LAN. Test 1: - Connect only one client to the server and download from it a file. -> The total speed recorded on the server is maximum (as expected - let's say 128KB) Test 2: - Connect all 100 clients (somewhere in the evening) and let them browse - download, etc - Try to download the same file from the same client to make sure that the bandwidth is used at it's maximum capacity -> The total speed recorded on the server is half then before (around 64KB) There is no load on the server (uptime shows 0.00 0.00 0.00) I changed distributions and hardware to make sure... I changed the computer to a P4 2GHz - 512 RAM The same problem appears during high traffic hours. Can u tell me if there is a limit in how many connection a Linux router might serve? Can u spot another problem that might decrease the speed in such a way? Please help... I am lost! I cannot see where the problem is... Thanks in advance, Mihai VLAD _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
