Hi all, I am a beginner and I have this problem: I installed fedora core 2 and iptables 1.2.11 and iptables-devel for 1.2.11. In my application when i try to scp or sftp any file larger than few bytes the transfer is not taking place. The transfer "stalls" at 132KB typically. I can successfully transfer files of the order of bytes. I tried: -increasing netlink buffer size(rite now i have kept it to 65535 * 4) -increasing the size of the buffer to which i read(ipq_read ) thinking that the other end is writing to netlink buffer very fast. But nothing seems to have worked. could anyone please help me? Thanks and regards Nikhil __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security.
