One of the sites of freepascal.org had an outage on friday from 8:00 till 16:00 as the result of a massive powerproblem. However it works fine now.
Here it doesnt. I even tried to change the mtu of all relevant systems to 1400 instead of 1500, which didnt help also...and i cant lower my mtu far more...i want some troughput.

I don't know what or where the problem is, but you're the first person I hear of who can't reach it.

It worked for ages here, while i never touched my router for about 2 years now...
Maybe someone responsible for the webserver could show up and tell me if there were changes done to it recently or not?
ISP and consequently DNS has changed. Check the IP address. It should be 62.166.198.202
But you're the only one to report problems, which suggests the problem is somewhere on your side. Maybe a proxy ?
Michael.
I dont use proxies - i can ping it perfectly fine. "ping -s 1432 www.freepascal.org" this assambles to a package size of 1460 which is the mtu of my router - larger packages dont work.
192.168.0.2 is a bridge i need to pass in order to get to 192.168.0.1 Here is my setup:
192.168.0.3 <-> 192.168.0.2 <-> 192.168.0.1 -> ADSL connection
0.3 and 0.2 have a mtu of 1500 while 0.1 has 1442. 0.1 automatically lowers it's mtu to the highest working value - it's a hardware solution...
No matter what i change all those mtu's to - 1460 byte will be the bigges package that works. maybe one can change the server to not send larger stuff, and see it this solves it.
I even kept track of PPPoE headers when testing, with no result...

Well I'm having problems with www.freepascal.org for around a month now (maybe even more). Sometimes it's just reappears - last time it's happened in sunday - I've succesfully filed bug report and downloaded sources from CVS. But next day it again disappeared. And now not reachable either throw www.freepascal.org or 62.166.198.202.
PS. Actually another successful connection were just after 1.9.8 release.

Are you clamping the tcp window size correctly on 0.1? If you can't do it there maybe try on 0.2.

The webserver (apache2) uses the defaults from Suse 9.2. Nothing special is configured.
Quite a few now said it might be the case that it's firewall blocks all icmp packages. Try lowering the servers mtu for the fun with it. Mine is 1442, automatically lowered to the highest value working everywhere. Think of possible PPPoE headers, since you seem to have a dsl connection. dunno what the exact setup looks like.

Yes, any sensible sysadmin ought to know that ICMP fragment error packets (type 3, code 4?) should always be allowed.
HTH,

*If* there is a problem on your end then it is your server's firewall, if it was letting through ICMP "fragmentation needed" packets this problem should not exist. OTOH, that problem might be elsewhere too.
johannes
Can you please translate this to plain english ? Michael.
A firewall shouldnt block those packages, since clients use them to tell the server to send smaller packages...that is about there only function.

you could maybe try to ping google or something with huge package. remember to add the header size in mind.

Same here, and I can ping www.freepascal.org till 8184.
Then the problem is elsewhere. Michael.
From the ping tests that have just been sent in, it's clear that it
works for high MTUs also.
But it doesnt neccessarily show that any "Fragmentation needed" packages can reach the server - which is the thing we need to proof or disproof, I'd say...
And i'm sorry - i have no idea how this could be done - anyone?
Same here, and I can ping www.freepascal.org till 8184.
Marco van de Voort wroteSame here, and I can ping www.freepascal.org till 8184.
The size at which you can ping www.freepascal.org isn't relevant, that just means that you are not blocking 'fragmentation needed' packets.
Interesting might be the size at which www.freepascal.org itself can ping, for example, xzone.dyndns.org (our dynamic behind-dsl IP which has a MTU lower than 1500)

The router is outside my control; It's controlled by the ISP; So there is nothing I can do about it. If you can tell me how to determine it's MTU size, then I can try to do something about it.

You should be able to ping much higher unless you do 'ping -M dont ...' since
The fact that you cannot suggests that there may be some router/firewall blocking these ICMP packets.

ICMP packets are used to designate certain errors in network flow. If you block all ICMP packets then you take away the error reporting capability.
Linux firewall should have something like:
iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type fragmentation-needed -j ACCEPT
Micha
Linux firewall should have something like: iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type fragmentation-needed -j ACCEPT
And also in FORWARD and OUTPUT, but it may be that you already have a rule to allow 'RELATED' traffic, and if you also allow all outgoing traffic, then the above rule actually is redundant.

Hi
when compiling lentilwars from Almindor, I encounter the following error when linking. This is definitely a problem above my level :)
btw. The SDL libs are installed through fink and are found. Any hints are welcome.

Hello all,
I submited now a bug report and would to do it also here.
Compiler incorectly forms import names from single-char constants. In the sample below, then compiler adds to a function name not only 'A' but also an additional mistake symbol, at result the function cannot be found in the dll.
const
A = 'A';
function MessageBox(p1: longint; p2, p3: pChar; p4: longint): longint; stdcall;
external 'user32.dll' name 'MessageBox' + A;
begin
MessageBox(0, 'Hello!', 'Hello!', 0);
end.Pavel
Patch is already finished, but not yet commited

Maybe we should simply allow google to index it :)
Florian Klaempfl wroteI guess the main problem was that the wiki refuses search expressions with 3 chars :)?
That's possible. I searched for "sdl", and got zero hits. I then clicked on the "Searching FPCWiki" help page and got an empty page... So I really didn't know what the problem was.

Yes, I suppose the new idefix can handle that.
