troubleshooting CVSUP failures
Howdy all, My ISP just put in a packetshaper and I am now having problems getting CVSUP to work. I suppose it could be unrelated, but I wanted to see if anyone could suggest good troubleshooting steps. I've tried several cvsup servers (cvsup, cvsup2, cvsup7, cvsup8) and they all either fail immediately, or shortly thereafter with one of the following errors. TreeList failed: Network write failure: ChannelMux.ProtocolError Detailer failed: Network read failure: Input/output error: zlib data error Will retry at 11:40:22 If anyone can give me some ideas to help figure out where the fault lies, that would be great.

TreeList failed: Network write failure: ChannelMux.ProtocolError Detailer failed: Network read failure: Input/output error: zlib data error I hadn't gotten any responses, but I just noticed something. I put my firewall's outside interface into promiscuous mode for Snort and shortly thereafter I started getting the following errors.

Might the errors that I'm seeing be evidence of that or is it only pointing to the fact that my firewalls ed1 interface might be screwy?

Can you post the dmesg output for both (or more) of the nics on the system, please? What is the P'nP OS BIOS option set to on this box? The reasoning behind my request for more information rests on the following:- 1] There is a possibility of an IRQ conflict with another adapter on the box 2] Duff ethernet cabling Now, my question all along has been whether my ISP munged something up and packets are being corrupted. Might the errors that I'm seeing be evidence of that or is it only pointing to the fact that my firewalls ed1 interface might be screwy? Not sure myself, come back to the list with that information, and hopefully others more informed than I would have memories jogged :-) Regards, Stacey Thanks, Shane To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message -- Stacey Roberts B.Sc (HONS) Computer Science Web: www.vickiandstacey.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Let me know if you need more. Now, here's the weird thing. I reconfigured my ipnat.rules, ipf.rules and rc.conf to switch the NICs. I rebooted and switched the cables and now I haven't gotten an error on the new dc0 interface (which is now the promiscuous snort interface). So, it might be that the ed1 interface is conflicting with something and I only hear about it when I put it into promiscuous mode. I'm going to try to do that next.

Let me know if you need more. Most MoBo's have an option in the SetUp menu (you know.., press DEL for SETUP, during POST), where you tell the BIOS whether or not a P'nP OS is being installed - for FreeBSD, one usually selects No / DISABLE to this. Now, here's the weird thing. I reconfigured my ipnat.rules, ipf.rules and rc.conf to switch the NICs. I rebooted and switched the cables and now I haven't gotten an error on the new dc0 interface (which is now the promiscuous snort interface). So, it might be that the ed1 interface is conflicting with something and I only hear about it when I put it into promiscuous mode. I'm going to try to do that next. Well., when putting an interface into promiscuous mode, you're then enabling the bpf (Berkley Packet Filter) device.., which might point to ed1 (on IRQ11) now having to contend with yet another device for IRQ resources.., Just a guess here. Thanks, It'd be great to hear what results you get.., Hope to hear from you on this again soon.
