I think that the problem is associated with the way that the Linux box treats bind requests.

For me, it only has problems when accessed from my Linux box. I used to run a Netgear DG834 and did not notice anything like this. After a few seconds the Gentoo and WinXP clients would share the bandwidth - irrespective of which one started downloading first. WinXP might have been slightly more hesitant to start with, but after say 30 seconds it would even out. However, this was with wired full duplex connections. Wireless is half duplex, transmit and receive happens sequentially not in parallel - when downloading on the Gentoo goes at full pelt it may take longer for inbound packets to get to bind and this could make the rather short TTL that MSWindows has to time out.

Trial & error may get you there. I don't think QOS is the right answer - since I've never seen this problem before - and I've never used QOS on Linux before. I think that the scheduler might explain things far better. I half-remember something about the inclusion of the new "CFS" scheduler when I compiled the kernel - maybe the default changed when I moved to the 2.6.23-gentoo-r3 kernel from - erm - some older 2.6 version many months ago. Maybe I should upgrade to the latest kernel (I'm reluctant to do this in a hurry - since I've lost my notes on which kernel options I'd activated - and it's a 'live' box I'm using on a day-to-day basis that I'd rather not break. Doah!) A workaround to avoid WinXP name requests timing out is to manually set at your WinXP clients the Netgear's IP address as their secondary DNS server. That's a fantastic hack...

I was caught out by this a few years ago with a DLink router - where I assumed it was my FreeBSD box at fault - but, actually, the router had broken firmware. PS.

No, I could, I guess - but I'm 95% convinced now that this is an I/O scheduling issue on my Gentoo box - and is not an issue with my router. Many thanks.

[gentoo-user] ffmpeg
Hello
Routine update to a system, leaves me with conflicting package
that want different versions of ffmpeg:
equery depends transcode
app-cdr/k3b-1.0.4 (encode? media-video/transcode)
equery depends xine-lib
kde-base/artsplugin-xine-3.5.9 (>=media-libs/xine-lib-1.0)
media-sound/amarok-1.4.9.1 (>=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.2_pre20060328-r8)
media-video/kaffeine-0.8.6 (>=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.9)
media-video/kmplayer-0.10.0c (xine? >=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.1)
I really need k3b, kaffeine
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:
media-video/ffmpeg:0
('installed', '/', 'media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616-r20', 'nomerge')
pulled in by
('ebuild', '/', 'media-video/transcode-1.0.5-r3', 'merge')
('ebuild', '/', 'media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20080326', 'merge') pulled in by
('ebuild', '/', 'media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.15', 'merge')
What are some amicable solutions to this, like a versions
of ffmpeg et. al. that work together? What the simplist/best
way to effect such masking in /etc/portage/* So that
when the conflicts are resolved the I will know about it
(and can remove entries in /etc/portage/* or they these
entries are ignored ???
I've been using ~ and specific version numbers with specific
packages with some success, but, I'm not fully confident
(at least with my gentoo skills) on knowing when to remove these
such entries.

Is this possible; to just remove artsplugin-xine Even though Kde-meta 3.5.9 is installed? A good idea? Does arts go away with KDE 4x? Looking for some advise here James

A good idea? kde3* and kde4* both work just fine without arts - I have run my machines like that for years now. arts was nothing more than an utter piece of total excrement that never worked properly, the design is buggy, and it causes huge problems with non-kde apps that want to use sound. alsa does all that arts ever did and more.
