After booting the network works just fine, but after a few days ( ranging from five to 10) really hard network problems occur, rendering the network accessabilty to zero; only manually restarting the network solves this problem (from local, of course). I appended the relevant lines of the logfiles for a more informative description. Altough the date/time stamps are a bit old (a few feks) the problem still exists recurrence every few days now :/ I allready searched the mailing list and I'm aware of scylds [1] website, but unfortunatly none of this information helped us. kind regards, Markus [1] http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html -- Markus Fischer, http://josefine.ben.tuwien.ac.at/~mfischer/ EMail: mfischer@josefine.ben.tuwien.ac.at PGP Public Key: http://josefine.ben.tuwien.ac.at/~mfischer/C2272BD0.asc PGP Fingerprint: D3B0 DD4F E12B F911 3CE1 C2B5 D674 B445 C227 2BD0 --jI8keyz6grp/JLjh Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="kernel.msg" Oct 2 08:42:25 josefine kernel: 3c59x.c:v0.99H 12Jun00 Donald Becker and others http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html Oct 2 08:42:25 josefine kernel: eth0: 3Com 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx at 0xb800, 00:10:5a:22:c4:60, IRQ 10 Oct 2 08:42:25 josefine kernel: 8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/Autonegotiate interface.
