Good to hear! I realy want to use this stack as default, but for now it just doesnt offer any advantages over MiamiDX for me. I cant wait to test the next release.

Well, well, well. If you want to have a local host name you have to define it in three places:
1. In "hosts" file: your local IP to host mapping.
2. In General.config: this actually sets your name (reported by "hostname".
3. In resolv.conf you add your local domain name (if you have a local network then you know it or ask your admin; if your computer is alone you can simply invent it).
The actual reason for the resolver delay is: your host name or your domain name (defined in resolv.conf) doesn't actually resolve. Your DNS server can't resolve it and just forwards the request further until some of root DNS servers finds the answer or all chain gives up (this takes significant amount of time).
The simplest way to fix this (if you don't want to bother about all details): just remove domain names from resolv.conf. I am sorry for this, i've included the complete config, not minimal one. To tell the truth i didn't know that most of users are not familiar with UNIX. Okay, as i've said i'll attempt to write a better documentation with some HOWTO for 1.1 release. At least i'll describe configuration in details. Buf first let me finish TCP upgrade and test it.

About DHCP: settings obtained via DHCP (nameservers and domains) are *MERGED* with static ones read from config files, they do not overwrite them. So remember to erase any settings which are invalid for you. I've done this in order to improve flexibility.

It's time to create better documentation for MOSNet. Please take a look at this url and tell me what you think. Quite not everything is done. But your comments and wished are appreciated.

I dont have the time to read it all righ tnow, but scanning through it, it looks very good. Well done Sonic and keep up the good work.

I am still Missing 3? Pages/Sections.
The Installation, the Support and another one.

@ Sonic

I had a overall look at it and find it quite ok. Users should be able to get along with it to set it up.

There are still some "points/objects" missing in the guide, I suppose because it's not finished.

Now if I may suggest something I would discribe a comlete, step by step, setup of a LAN, including network printing and internet but this perhaps should not be in the docs?

Hello everyone!
Yes, the documentation version in the CVS is quite not finished. Currently almost everything is done but i'm unable to commit it for now.
I've changed place of the job and here we have a rather strict policy on Internet usage. For now i'm not allowed to even have an external email and can't use the web for private purposes (all access is logged). CVS is banned for now too. I am also not allowed to perform any data exchange using removable media (one of our company's areas is network security).
Of course soon i'll resume my support, for now i'll read this forum from time to time but not often.
A positive side: i've got rid of traffic limit.

Yesterday in the evening i've compiled and ran MOSNet v1.1.
1. It works succesfully. IBrowse works flawlessly with T/TCP protocol.
2. Samba transfer test has shown incredible speedup. Download of 22 mb file completed at approx. 800 kbytes/sec, upload was still not quite stable but speed increased up to ~320 kbytes/sec. During the transfer the speed gauge jumped to almost full value (~950 kbytes/sec), pauses could be caused by quite poor performance of my test peer (Pentium-I non-MMX 90 mHz; 16 megs RAM). It definitely needs testing on a better equipment.
Soon i hope to produce a test beta release somehow.
The documentation is still in progress, the CVS contains quite obsolete version, i can't update it. I think i'll use some friends' home to update the repository and upload the release.

sounds great, hope you can release it soon

@ Sonic

this is really GREAT, looking forward to test...

Regards

Christoph

Great job Sonic.

Sonic do you need a better PC? I am sure I can get a spare (older, but still decent) notebook with a PIII in it for you or even a motherboard, CPU and some RAM. If you cover shipping I can see what I will be able to get for you.
