------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-13-09 12:31 ------- Works for me - no more ping floods on the LAN. I will repeat the test with GPRS later today. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: ASSIGNED creation_date: description: I have the LAN at 10.0.0.0/8. tcpdump shows that the lisa tries to do an ARP request for probably all addresses in the network and literally bombards the net with packets. I don't know what this might cause on a large network. To add to this it continues these probes even after the LAN interface goes down. This can also result in a costly problem. The following happened to me: - I configured my notebook for GPRS over bluetooth - I removed the LAN card from my notebook so it does not interfere with the experiments - I brought a PPP connection up - The defaultroute was set to ppp0 - The lisa continued to send packets - They all travelled to the phone, generating paid traffic :-( The distribution is Mandrake 9.2 Beta 2 Proposed resolution: don't enable the server by default and document this problem somewhere
