another p.i.t.a thing happens...
i play 2 wow server, so its kinda lazy to type alllllll the command again. is there any script in feather to do it?

offtopic:theres a rumor saying deluge (a torrent dloader in linux) can bypass all the stupidsh throttling, is there any deluge version for feather? (theres one for ubuntu, debian, but cant find any for feather. )

thaurissan new ip
12.129.225.87

not good.
after thaurissan ip changed, my ping with linux fix (already change 'your.wow.server.ip' to new one) never gets below 600ms.
without linux fix, 500ms.

settled. ping 300-450ms.
using ubuntu for now, v7.10 looks KEWL..
now im interested in linux.... hmmmm...

quote from the first page, refine for easier method for some ppl who wanna connect it my way. this feather method works for me. and it should work for u too.

This method require router which means : telephone line ---> ADSL modem ----> router ---> PC

Stuff you will need.

feather-0.7.5.iso http://mymirrors.homelinux.org/linux/feather-linux/
vmware server http://www.vmware.com/download/server/
TcpView for windows http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysintern...es/TcpView.mspx

1>Once vmware server is installed, open it up and click local host->then ok
2>Then click file.
3>Then click new->virtual machine click next
4>choose typical ->next->linux->version->(drop down menu)other version 2.4xkernel->next
5>Choose a name for it and the place u want to store the virtual machine
6>click next->use bridge networking->next
7>i did 1gb for disk capacity (you can make it smaller) then click finish.
8>Once that is done click host then virtual network settings->click host virtual network mapping
9>for vMnet0 choose your network adaptor u connect to the net with then leave the rest as they are ->click ok. (choose adapter that connects ur PC to router)
10>In the inventory window in vmware server right click on the virtual machine, click settings then click memory choose 128mb.
11>Then click cd-rom, click use iso image and point that to the feather-0.7.5.iso you downloaded, click ok.
12>Now time to boot feather linux right click on the virtual machine in the inventory and click power on. It takes a few seconds for it to start up.
13>For the setup routine choose the 2nd option xfdev press enter.
14>For the mouse choose no to usb mouse then yes to the next option.
15>Test to make sure your internet connection is working on the vm machine right click on desktop apps->net->firefox. go to yahoo.com or whatever, if u can access the internet in this linuxs' firefox, GOOD.
16>Now to get the ip for your wow server log a character into wow (leave vmware open)
17>alt+tab to desktop and run tcpview.exe scroll down until u find wow and right click and copy the ip address.and paste it into notepad or something.
18>Then close wow.
19>Go back into vmware linux and open console (its on the desktop) and type these


press enter, and type this

enter again

20>now open up a new console window and type ifconfig, now in eth0 look for your inet addr, that is the ip address of the virtual machine (vm.machine.ip). write this address down somewhere.
21>Now go back into windows click start menu click run type cmd then ok.
22>type this



23>login to wow. after load screen, alt+tab, go to console in feather, there should be spamming text about transferring data bla bla bla. this means GOOD. now get back to your game and enjoiii!!

24>if u have trouble to connect like stuck at success, something is wrong with routing above. read carefully. if u dc-ed right after success, try login again. (i sometimes dc-ed once). and if u have no problem connecting but still having high ping, that means ur internet connection is bad. try reconnect with ur usual good ip.

hopefully this helps. credits to those who invented this fix, and those who mentioned it.

if u play multiple server, do this.
1>never turn off the feather linux, if u wanna quit, just click X on top, choose suspend.
2>to write the wow server ip, close the first console which have (let say) Thaurissan ip, open up new console, press the keyboard button up twice, it should brings u to the first sudo command.
3>change the ip from Thaurrisan ip to whatever server ip there. press enter
4>press keyboard button up again till u get to the second sudo command, change the ip, then press enter.
5>try login, if the console have the transferring etc etc, good. enjoi!



i cant help with that since i cant imagine what happened lol. hows ur current connection to internet? is it like telephone line ---> ADSL modem ----> router ---> PC?
if it is, just click the dropdown menu, choose ur current network card.

Added on January 22, 2008, 1:54 pmremember when i said i cant ping google.com thru debian before?
the solution is to change the eth0 dropdown menu to the current network card. pretty weird coz nitro didnt mention it. probably only my pc need to config that. did u change that setting too?




hahahahhaa!!
i need monehhh!
anyway, the guides in this thread already said what should be done. especially the feather one, so easy meh.

try to use lan cable version first. if the dropdown menu is available for that lan cable, good. if doesnt have, gg.

huih, im in terengganu. uber far.
did u try the cable wire?

that should be right. do u have something like 'I transferred xxx bytes from x to x' spam after u login into ur character?

where did u typed this?

route -p ADD 12.129.225.103 MASK 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.3

in linux or windows cmd?

Attached thumbnail(s)

should be okay i guess. try ss it.

QFT

i suft net thru linux now, even youtube load faster than windows one.

if using ubuntu, can. just right click on the file, copy, go to windows, paste.
dunno for feather, haven tried yet.

it works, but have to config to start the sudo socat thingy. i didnt remember the steps, but what i did was, if stuck at 'socat not installed', google ubuntu socat install, found solution, install, ctinue the usual steps. if stuck again, google again.


to see whether vm working or not, just watch the console where u typed socat thingy, if it spams with transferred etc etc, means it works.
one of my guildmember get uber low ping without using any services, lucky them. but for me, same ip without linux fix = constant 600ms. with linux fix = 300ms hell yeahhh!

p/s: huh, i wonder how wow gameplay with <100ms. those americans still QQ'ing when they hit 150ms. (OMG MY PING IS DAMN HIGH, ITS 150ms!!1!11!!eleven!satu!!)

ah, i do install it, dunno if it didnt work without it.
