Re: [SLUG] Weird nslookup problem - Apologies
Thanks Ken and David. Firewalled client IP at the hosting provider was indeed the problem. Something kicked off the intrusion prevention. I've made them whitelist the IP. Also didn't know about the google groups either so thanks Michael. Do we still post to SLUG or just go to google groups now?

[SLUG] programmer wanted
Hi all, anyone in Sydney that can do some web/db programming. Also an app on iphone/android would be required. Does not have to be done in a screaming hurry... I'm in the inner west near Ashfield.

[SLUG] debian 6 running on vmware esx slow network throughput
Hi List, I have a Debian 6 VM on a vmware esx running as a NFS (nfs-kernel) server. I noticed that network throughput is just around 10mbps and it has some RX errors. Other VMs on the same ESX don't have the same issue. The Debian server originally has interface type Flexible. I then tried setting to E1000 but still has the same issue. After changing to E1000, RX errors was gone but throughput is still below 10mbps. Any suggestions to fix the network throughput. Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. Hi Mark, did you try the VMXNET3 option in ESX? It works with Debian and is recommended. rachel — Rachel Polanskis Kingswood, Greater Western Sydney, Australia gr...@exemail.com.au IT consulting, security, programming The more an answer costs, the more respect it carries. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] debian 6 running on vmware esx slow network throughput
Hi Rachel, Thank you for the advice. I tried VMXNET3 but still has the same issue. I also found out the the virtual machine has Guest OS type = Other Linux/32-bit but its running Debian6/64-bit. Transferring file via SCP will cause high CPU wait time for just one session.
