Re: PPP & named oddity

2000-11-30 Thread Brian Somers
Check out http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/ppp.html. Your best bet is to set up a diagnostic socket and attach to it when ppp appears hung. You should be able to ``set log local physical'' and see any incoming and outgoing traffic. If there's no incoming traffic, I'd tend to blame the peer. > Hi

Oldish Laptop and boot0

2000-11-30 Thread Daniel O'Connor
Hi, I upgraded a laptop at work which was running 2.2.6 (oh the pain) to 4.2 and had a few problems.. The floppy drive was stuffed and it's too old to be able to boot off the CDROM drive so I transfered the HD to another laptop (P233 Sharp PC-M110) and did the install on that and it seemed fine (

Re: could netscape hose my dialup modem traffic?

2000-11-30 Thread Barney Wolff
I have seen some weird paging behavior with netscape (4.76) on 4.2 (beta, then stable as of 11/29). Sometimes netscape and X get into a fight over memory, with both seeming to be largely non-resident although there is free memory. I can usually provoke this by opening an extra window in jsp (for

This latest began only after I ungraded to 4.X (I'm currently at 4.1 and content). The problem is that occasionally my dialup thru-put drops to 5 or 10bps. Trying to get anything done via telecommuting is virtually impossible. One thing I thought it might be is the ``stray i

Re: Linksys PCMPC100 problem

2000-11-30 Thread Lars Eggert
Another piece to the puzzle of bad network performance of the Linksys cards is that they're only supported as generic NE2000 cards with 8K of memory by the ed driver. 1.5K are used for the send buffer, 6.5K remain for the receive buffer. This is a shortcoming of the ed driver, since the Linksys ca

Has anyone ported the patch from PR i386/12088 (http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=12088) to 4.X? It claims to better support Linksys 10/100 cards. I've some trouble with that card under heavy load, mostly because the ed driver seems to support it as a generic NE2000 with only 8K of card
