Hello,
I have an interesting problem. I am running Bering 1.0 rc3 in a
bridge configuration, booting from a CD Rom, with 64MB of log files space in
memory. I use the weblet interface to check on the firewall at other
machines on the internal network. When I first power the firewall up the web
page can read the firewall log files but when I come back the next day to
the same web page I get this message : 'File not readable: messages'. The
file is there on the firewall system because I went to the directory and
viewed the days reject packets in the ae text editor. I can only think that
there is something wrong with the way that the logs are rotated??? Any
ideas???
On this system I also had two Realtek network cards as eth0 and
eth1 using the 8139too.o driver. They seemed to work well until I upgraded
to Bering 1.0 rc3. Again I also had the same bridge configuration as per
above. What started to happen was one of the network cards would 'lock up'
(might not be the correct term J ) and cause the internal network to lose
the ability to ping to other host on the internal and external network. Also
the DHCP server on the internal network would not be able to give out
address etc. The way I could fix the problem is to disconnect the internal
network cable on the firewall box and then reconnect it. This is a very
strange fault, the only way I could describe it is that the firewall was
stopping all of the internal network traffic. This is strange because the
internal network is setup in a star topology using simple hubs. To fix the
problem is a more elegant way, I changed to Netgear network cards using the
tulip.o driver (my understanding a more stable driver). They have been
running for a couple of days now without a problem. Fingers cross problem
does not reappear. Any ideas on what is happening?
Thanks in advance or any help.
Regards,
Robert.
