Re: Network Install bogs
If the problem raises just after the beguinning of the ftp/http session, this could be a PMTU discovery issue (covered in numerous places, google for details). Try with setting the mtu on the sun interface to 1400 for exemple and see if this fix you problem.

Re: Network Install bogs
I have had similiar problems with some ftp servers. I my case in came down to wether I was using passive ftp or not. This may be the case, as a lot of ftp server require a passive connection to function from behind their firewall correctly.

Re: Network Install bogs
Okay, I did do a wget from the command line. I did one wget to my local ftp & web server (to get a binary image, 650 Megs) and I got GREAT speeds. I then did a wget to the debian mirrors, and the same thing happens...it "stalled". Maybe my Masq Server needs to be rebooted.

Re: Network Install bogs
Ben, To add on the last post; I have concluded that there is NO hardware problems because, I just transferred a large ISO (650megs) from the Ipmasq server to the Sun Box, and I got very good speeds, and it did copy the ISO to the Sun Box. However, when I try to download an ISO to that box I get good speeds for about 60 secs, and it just "stalls" according to wget.

Re: Network Install bogs
Ben, I guess I am on a firewall because I am using Ip-MASQ. I doubt I messed up my ip-masq script, because I am using the default script from IP-MASQ HOWTO. I am NOT using any proxy. And I have tried both ftp and http.

Network Install bogs
I am trying to do a network install of Debian (Woody) on an Ultra Sparc10. I already set up tftp and it boots the image fine, however when I set up the network and try to get rescue.bin from the debian mirror it stops downloaded it at about 50%. When I open up another console (Alt+F2) I can ping out fine (ip masq), and even ping the debian server(s). So I don't think there is anything wrong with my network. Any suggestions/solutions? Thanks, Naresh
