I'm assuming you're running Debian/Sparc on the UltraSparc machine. If it's any consolation, one of my mail/webservers is a Sun Ultra 1 running "testing" and haven't seen any weirdness with ftp or http from that box. You could (just as a test) try hooking it up outside the firewall temporarily and see if the firewall is doing something funky. Also, I have had interesting issues with Sparc boxes not auto-negotiating speed/duplex to cheap switches many many times over the years... but that shouldn't cause the weird behavior you're seeing...??? -- Nate Duehr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
