Hi Andre, I just tried it out and ignored Yast's complaint. It seems to works now, so I guess I was successful in principle: As far as I can see, the 10 MBit terminals have a connection to nfs, and 100 MBit is running anyway. However, whenever I come to the software installation module, Yast co

Hi Andre, I had the same problem with SuSE9.0 (kernel2.4) and the kernel nfs-server daemon. After switching to the userspace nfs-server-daemon the problem was gone (remove "nfs-utils", install "nfs-server"). Would be great if it was that easy. I've heard of this workaround from somewhere else, too

Hi Philip, > the same problems.. We replaced the switch (cheap model to another cheap brand) and everything went normal.. Yes, isn't it strange? Some switches seem to steel some information out of the packets transmitted from slower cards - or they just do not convert them properly. Rolf -

Hi Sudev, Sudev Barar schrieb: sixteen!!! IAC making a switch to 100mbps cards made sense as it solved this problem as well as clients were happier with speed. Of course, I would be happier with 100 mbps cards and hubs on all clients but it would be too costly at the moment to upgrade everything

Hi Kalev, What kernel is your server running? 2.6 :-) correctly. I managed to fix it by replacing the switch (it is interesting to note the the same switch has worked correctly since in a different environment without NFS). Yes, everything else works fine. It seems to be a problem of the nfs p
