I agree that two of these devices aren't entirely necessary unless we want to use VPNs to access each site where they will eventually be installed. I was thinking that it would be easy to stage them to check out how the VPN tunnel would work and make any adjustments. The WAN side of the gateways

This is interesting, I had the exact same problem with an eracks machine, but the pci=bios at the boot prompt fixed it for me. I installed with SuSe 8.1, specified the pci=bios and all is well. Ed On Tuesday 01 April 2003 00:14, Kurth Bemis wrote: here's the story... bought a machine from

An update - when I hook a PC directly to the gateway and use a cross-over cable, the VPN connection from the PC client works correctly and I can access the systems inside the LAN behind the gateway (ping, browse etc.). So I guess the two gateways hooked directly together requires the use of a

That didn't do it. I'm looking at my dmesg a bit more and I see somthing that strikes me as kind of odd. PCI: This system does not support PCI I've never seen this before and I'm wondering what would cause this. I'm going to go googling, but i'd be interested to hear what you all have to

The 3Com documentation is pretty reasonable in describing how the tunnel server assigns addresses to the incoming VPN connections. They take pains to make sure that you don't overlap the VPN tunnel addresses and the DHCP addresses that are served to the local systems. At the client end, packets

Check out mii-tool - it might help. You can use it to query the current MII settings and to nail them where they should be if they aren't right. Sometimes two NICs fail to properly negotiate their optimal settings and (say) a 100Mb-FD connection might end up running at (say) 10Mb-HD. Worth a

Believe it or not, disk I/O bandwidth is often the culprit in situations like this. Try moving the same amount of data from disk to disk and see what happens. Make sure you invalidate the cache if you do this in a loop to overcome the effects of extensive read caching. I think you'll find that
