Greetings all, just posting to tell you I think I found out what
is wrong with my SLIP connection. If you haven't read my previous
articles, I was getting alot of data fragmentation. I then set the
MTU to 276, and continued to recieve some [but not nearly as much]
fragmentation, when accessing specific services. It turns out that
all the services now that cause fragmentation are UDP protcol services:
nslookup, archie client, fsp, etc. Anyone have any idea why? Anyway,
I THINK i've found a solve to the nslookup problem by making the
nslookup server in resolv.conf one at georgia tech (gatech) rather
than a local one. We'll see I guess. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please e-mail replies to jsr@beach.cis.ufl.edu for now, and mail will
be forwarded to me.
Also, if your interested in conversing, or just playing around on a Linux
site, I've been allowing guest connections into my machine for now to
test it stability, we're usually at slip-c13.cis.ufl.edu [yes, SLIP!]
or 128.227.224.222: login guest, if you'd like your own account, mail root.
(Well, its at a friends house, but lets see if it workz!)
Take it easy...
