[linux-help] Re: Ethernet card setup / Gateway system

["Koji Hayakawa" <sylf00@xxxxxxxxx>]

While we at the topic, I got (what to me) an age old question:

At my friend's house, we have a redhat 6.0 setup, which runs as a get way
server, as well as a few other services we use (such as www, ssh and ftp).
We do IP Masqing for proxy, and the  gateway box got 2 NICs.  Internal
network got 192.168. address, as it should be...  (or should it really?)

Question 1.
Is there a way for me to access his internal machines somehow?  Sometimes,
my friend runs FTPd on his windows machine, and it would be nice if I could
access his machine straight at times.

Question 2.
We must have the setup a bit wrong.
When he tries to ssh, telnet, or FTP from his windows machine to the gateway
box, not always, but many times, there's some 5-20 seconds delay in initial
connection.  Once the connection is established, things are fine....  (Also,
trying to run traceroute from the gateway gives a good chunk of delay as
well.)  What COULD be some of the cause of delays?
