[Firehol-support] FireQOS: need help with input traffic shaping

Hi Costa,

Thanks for your reply!

1. Ok, I will remove the "qdisc htb" line an try again, if that is what 
you meant?

2. I do masquerading and it is configured like this:
Outsite is eth0 with ip 192.168.2.10/24 - Internal LAN is 10.0.0.0/24 
which is masqueraded to 192.168.2.10.
Then I have eth0:1 with ip 192.168.2.11/24 - all outgoing requests from 
my nas (10.0.0.254) get masqueraded to 192.168.2.11
And as seen in the status output it is working, as traffic gets 
associated with the right class. (Checked with iptraf on eth0 too)

3. Ok, will remove the acks and just leave ack.

4. Yes I also noticed that and was wondering why there is barely 
anything in the tcpack class... but no idea why?

Will report back once I had the chance to test your suggestions!
Thanks!

Andreas
