This is a kernel issue... if it corresponds to a bug, kernel programmers will have to be informed of it. However, I suspect not, since: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2003-Jul/1203.html suggests that this is a symptom of low memory. (Subsequent discussion suggests that a full root filesystem can do this also.) Low memory can occur if your router is NATing a lot of different connections (even short duration ones). Adding memory or reshuffling your ramdisk allocations may help in such cases. looking at /proc/net/ip_conntrack can give you an idea of the number of connections being supported. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
