Sorry for the off-topic question, guys, but I really need help with
this one.
I set up a small network of machines (1 WinXP, 1 Mac, 1 Win2k and
various on-and-off laptops). They are connected to the larger network
through a Linux firewall, a Dual PII-266 running Debian-3.0-testing
with a custom-compiled SMP-enabled kernel 2.4.19.
Everything seems find until I mount a Windows share which is behind
the firewall. It works, but when trying to copy large files (>512 MB)
the load gets too big for the firewall and it starts dropping packets,
so Windows drops the file copying. top indicates near-50% system time,
which, to me, indicates that only one CPU is used for packet
filtering. Both CPUs are working and supported by the kernel
(according to /proc/cpuinfo).
Is there anything I can do besides digging into stochastic queueing?
