My networking problem is this: I've got a homenetwork with a
server (dio) that has two nics in it, my workstation (kosh), and various
other computers on it. After I first boot kosh can talk to dio and the
rest of the network just fine. But after a random (5 min upto a few
hours), kosh is unable to talk to anybody. It seems this happens when
kosh hasn't talked on the network for a while, but I might be reaching.
Sometimes removing the module and reinstalling it fixes the problem other
times it doesn't. I've tried rebuilding the kernel with the module in
it. I've tired three different nics 2 via-rhine (swapped one out of dio)
and a tulip. When things are working typing arp looks like this.
Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface
dio ether 00:A0:0C:C0:3E:97 C eth0
When it doesn't it looks like this
Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface
dio (incomplete) eth0
When I try to manually enter it (arp -s dio -H ether hwaddress -i eth0)
it sits there. I have the output of a tcpdump and the pings that go along
with it at www.monc.org/~zojoncj/tcpdu and ~zojoncj/pbad
I'm dual booting and the problem only occurs in the linux side of
things. Up until a few weeks ago I was running win2k standalone and it
worked fine, and before that I was running linux (Redhat or Slackware)
standalone and it worked fine. Current my distro is Slackware 7.0 and
kernel 2.2.13.
If there is anymore info that might help I'll be glad to provide what I
can.
Thanks,
Josh
