Hey guys, I have 4 systems on my network at the moment:
1 - Windows XP Pro
2 - Slackware 8.0 server
3 - debian 2.2 woody server
4 - freesco router
The freesco machine is my router (located at 192.168.0.1) and u an running most of the network services (httpd, proftpd, samba, etc) off of the Slackware 8 machine (192.168.0.3). Now, I am eventually going to remove the freesco machine and make the slackware machine into the router and put the file serving work onto the debian machine. I want to switch my internal network to dhcp, since it is all static IPs right now. I setup dhcpd on the slackware machine with all the correct information for the machines on the network to operate like normal. And, indeed they do. However, when i switch my desktop machine to dhcp instead of static setup, i notice that all of the network access slows down. Telnet sessions to the other machines takes 5 seconds to open (as opposed to instantly) and an ftp session to the slack box takes about 10 seconds, and every command the ftp client sends takes about 5 more to register before the data gets moving. Once the transfers start, however, speeds are excellent. It seems that all the problems lie in establishing connections from a machine that is using dhcp client.
Anybody have any ideas why this is hanppening??
The setup I am sending to the clients is thus:
iprange: 192.168.0.10
mask: 255.255.255.0
network addr: 192.168.0.0
default gateway: 192.168.0.1 (the freesco router)
and then just my @home DNS servers.
So, as far as I can see, everything should be fine.
Help is appreciated.
