I have since realized that > linux starts after a half dozen or so dots... Sounds about right. But this is probably a worth addition to the howto. Are you running at 10Mbps or at 100Mbps? I just repeated the test to refresh my memory and I get: Loading x-slam://192.168.0.253:10000/239.255.1.1:10000 ......(ELF)... done My 1.7M images loads in about a second, after the DHCP reply is received. A couple of more facts that may be useful: - There is a one hop limit on the packets, to limit the distance the packets will travel. So the packets are non routable. - If you compile mini-slamd with -DDEBUG=1 you will get some debugging output from the server. Eric |
