Mark, Debug your network troubles at a lower level, since the lowest layers are required to work correctly before higher services can. Forget samba, browsers, etc. for the time being.
This could be a number of problems. Your fast to WAN, slow to LAN speeds can be misleading because your broadband is very speed- limited relative to your 100mbit LAN connections. First, from all hosts, be sure you can *reliably* ping all other hosts, esp. your linux box to your LAN hosts in question. We know that some packets get there (albeit slowly). Test both default and larger packet sizes (man ping). I'm betting some packets are being dropped. Run ping for a while to be sure you get 100% packet throughput. Also, immediately after your pings, look at your ARP tables (arp -a). Both Windows and Linux will have this command. Verify that MAC to IP address mappings are all correct. - The command ifconfig -a will give you the network interface info you desire. How about posting that info, and the ARP info along with a network diagram showing your setup. Include all network info (IP addresses, netmasks, gateway addrs, broadcast addrs). FYI - here's a long-since fixed bug report I posted a while ago that will give you more info about SB2's bridging: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2221 -- MrC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26183 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
