Folks: I'm running potato with two nics (netgear FA310s, Tulip driver, modular) runnign IP masquerading on them. The machine is a celeron/466 with 64 MB orf RAM.
The problem I get is this: the network drops away often. Usually, the external interface (eth0) is fine, but the internal network goes awry all the time. If I run pings to the internal machines, it will drop 1/4 - 1/2 of the packets. And I get lots of dropped packets internally as well. I'm running the most potato updated IPmasq and tulip drivers on a 2.2.13 kernel. Any ideas? I'm beginning to think that these NICs (or at least one of them) is flaky. I've set up IPmasq the exact same way several times, without issue. Thanks in advance... glen -- Glen S Mehn [EMAIL PROTECTED] transecure.com-- building trust in transactions.
