Well, its a lot overdue, but: regarding the: 1)freeze problem while using heavy connection reliant software like overnet edonkey and friends. 2)pppoe[7582]: Bad TCP checksum cda2 ... 3)freeze problem when moving large files inside the network.
Here is what i found (if it hasn't been found before): 1) solved by editing the pppoe.conf and setting "CLAMPMSS=no" also, you need to use the internal CLAMPMSS of netfilter to compensate (if you don't already.): $iptdir -t filter -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu 2) the reason it (usually) happens is because you have the CLAMPMSS set to 1412 and you have also set netfilter to: $iptdir -t filter -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu at the same time. choose one, preferably leave netfilter in place to avoid freezes at unexpected time. 3) The reason it happens is because you have short circuted the modem to the hub and the pppoe protocol or software have trouble keeping things in sync because of timeouts that were generated by the network collisions. the solution is to seperate the modem network from the home network so no collisions will happen. however, the CLAMPMSS=no could also help since it can reduce overheads and thus lower timeouts (if any)though i didn't check that. other things can help like increasing timeouts, changing synchronization options but i didn't try them and it seems too much hassle, it would be cheaper by time/money to just buy another 30 nis ethernet card and be done with it. hope this is the end of the long story. * - * - * Tzahi Fadida MSc Student Information System Engineering Area Faculty of Industrial Engineering & Management Technion - Israel Institute of Technology Technion City, Haifa, Israel 32000 Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Technion Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * WARNING TO SPAMMERS: see at http://members.lycos.co.uk/my2nis/spamwarning.html ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
