Greetings. I have a strange problem in network: when copying files via NFS or scp from OpenSSH, the sending machine hangs randomly. It has woody (actual version) installed. I had the same thing on the same machine but with FreeBSD 4.1 some time ago. As far as I can say, the hang occurs when copying multimedia files. I noticed that the following file types were involved:
-PCX pictures -MPEG (movies and layer 3) -WAVes I do not think that it depends on file size, cos even large tarballs or bzip2s make it, even if some GB of size. May this be a NIC error? When working locally on that box, cp does not raise that error, thus I presume it is not due some IDE errors or that. When working remotely, the machine locks up totally, allowing no ping etc. When trying to do anything locally after a net hang, the machine is dead. Under FreeBSD the machine also rebooted just after a hang. Very strange. Thank you, Timo
