Why is my bandwidth limited so much in windows?

Q. I have been switching between linux and windows for a while now while I learn a little bit more about linux to where I can make a perminant switch.

When using Linux my download speeds would get up to the 900KBPS speed they are supposed to but in windows it is limited to a very sad 100KBPS for no good reason.

Is there a way to fix this problem?

This is with a fresh windows install (about an hour ago) so its not bugged.

A. Are you using a download manager of some sort?

I'm not sure how Linux works but some download managers (IDM) are really good. They are able to download the file in parts which means that you're downloading at probably 5 or 6 times the normal speed.

Downloading through a browser just downloads the file as a whole and this takes a lot longer.

how do i install itunes 10 on linux ubuntu?

Q. I've used wine and play on linux to download the application, but it just isn't working. Every time I click on the application to open it doesn't open up. Does anyone know what I can do to make it work.
itunes seven is working just fine, but I don't want the old version i want the newer version.

A. I love it when people respond to questions, and have no idea what there talking about.

First make sure you have an up to date copy of WINE and POL, I know the POL in the Ubuntu repos is the older version (at least last time I checked) Same goes for WINE. Make sure your running if from either the WINE menu, or from POL directly. If you just double click the EXE it will run without the switches, and may not work at all. If your doing all of this I'd suggest a complete PURGE not removal of WINE and POL. Don't use Software center, use apt-get. Software center will only remove them

#sudo apt-get purge wine
#sudo apt-get purge playonlinux
#sudo apt-get autoremove
#sudo apt-get autoclean

Make sure there's no hidden folders in your home folder (with a . in front of them) referencing WINE or POL. Alt+H will show them

Download POL from them directly, don't install from the Ubuntu repos. (Current Ver is 3.8.12)

POL Is dependent on WINE, so it will be installed automatically, so will the MS fonts. It should work fine after that.

Banshee has come a long way, not really a need to run iTunes in Linux anymore. I just installed it to see what would happen and it appeared to run fine, imported my music library and played them fine, connected to my ipod etc. You results should be the same. I still like Native software when possible.

I have activated a port for a office but have internet connection problems?

Q. Recently I have activate a port for a office room and i'm gettting internet connection but if i type something in search it gives me connect to office or offline. I'm currently running a linux firewall do i need to do some setting? or what should i do to fix it?

A. Make sure the port you specifies is not interfering with other services that is using the same port. You can also flush all the port to see which port is having problem. Also make sure your internet daemon is running.

You can always ping your router or any outside network to see if it has internet connection.

I hope this help.

Original Question

Linux Firewall on a home network?

Q. What would be the use of a linux firewall in a home network? Is there any point in making one?

A. The primary purpose would be to learn more about how firewalls, routers and IPTables work. It used to be that it took some big iron to run firewall and router software, "back in the day"
Today, of course, you can buy a $40 home router that does most everything you need

Here are some other reasons to set up a Liniux
1. you want to monitor all traffic in and out of your home network. Using a Linux machine as a router/firewall allows you to tap the Ethernet port with Wireshark and sniff the traffic coming to and from the whole network, not just one machine..
2. You want complete control of what all the machines can do and when they can do it on the network.
Home routers give you some control.
A Linux firewall/router gives you control that only a high priced router can give you.
Bandwidth allocation and limits are not available on low end home routers. Linux would give you the same controls as a full business router costing $500 or more.

But these days - mostly for fun and to learn

Original Question

Linux users - does the Linux firewall block/make it difficult to watch video or film online?

Q. I am learning about Linux because Im thinking of changing my OS to Linux and trying to find out some pros and cons. I sometimes stream film from sites or watch you tube and Im wondering if Linux will interfere with this.

A. Linux won't really need a firewall. I run a number of Linux machines without any security software and they're fine. Linux is a lot more secure than Windows (Or Mac OS, for that matter), and because it's not used as widely, less viruses are produced for it.

The only issue you might have is that Flash isn't very well supported in Linux - you won't get very good frame rates in full screen, high quality video. Still, if your computer's powerful enough, it should be fine.

Linux is a fantastic platform, which is rapidly becoming more and more user friendly. I urge you to try out Ubuntu, from http://www.ubuntu.com. From there, you can create a Live CD, so you can test Ubuntu without installing it!
