Subject: [os2genau] InJoy Firewall

Hi all

For those who are interested, here is a quick page I put together
lastnight on setting up injoy's Firewall with internal servers.

http://www.os2site dot com/sw/internet/firewall/injoyfirewall.html

I will slowly add to this, and put the rules into tables etc.
As well as add more filters, and a general setup for those
of you who have no internal servers etc.

Cheers
Ian B Manners

Ian,

I don't ;spose you have some basic rules for the TCP/IP 4.1+ built-in
f/wall-filters ?

if you really want to tune this, Theseus lets you look into swapper, and,
asses real time internal utilization, VS, external swapper size:

<groper>[E:\]swap2
20
0
2d 21h 2m 9s 335ms
groper Swap Analysis 20 MB, 0% of it used

[<echidna>-D:\]swap2
100
27
3d 5h 28m 16s 507ms
echidna Swap Analysis 100 MB, 27% of it used

/* swap2.cmd HD swapper free/used space */
/* must have Theseues2 installed / driver loaded 
   must have go and stdout.cmd */

	CALL RxFuncAdd 'SysLoadFuncs', 'RexxUtil', 'SysLoadFuncs'
      	CALL SysLoadFuncs

	Call RxFuncAdd 'RT2LoadFuncs', 'Theseus0', 'RT2LoadFuncs'
	Call RT2LoadFuncs

/* output in format suitable for MRTG */

Server= stdout('hostname') 'Swap Analysis'
Uptime=STRIP(SUBSTR(stdout('go -ut'),71))

parse value RT2AnalyzeSwapper() with SwapUsed SwapFree

SAY format((SwapUsed+SwapFree)*4/1024,,)
SAY format(100*SwapUsed/(SwapUsed+SwapFree),,0)
SAY UPTIME
SAY Server format((SwapUsed+SwapFree)*4/1024,,)' MB,' format(100*SwapUsed/(SwapUsed+SwapFree),,0)'% of it used'
exit

I'd add RAM to ws. My own ws first, of course....

64 is OK, 128 is better.

is anyone using old Accton 8 bit NICs EtherCoax 8W EN1808 ?

I need jumper setting, Accton's server, under 'older drivers on ftp' says"
no such dir on ftp"

specifiaclly, 'IO: A5-A8'

basically, if I remember correctly: either WD or SMC ISA drivers are
supposed to work with that card ?

The improvement from a faster disk is simple - the operating system
runs from the local HD. All programs require the Operating System to
be running, hence if it loads its modules (DLLs) faster all applications
run faster.

It's your decision, but it would be my choice in your situation.

Extra RAM won't do any harm, I simply think it won't give the same
improvement.

Perhaps you could upgrade one HD and one memory and compare ?

Cheers/2
