Let me explain the network. I have three systems on a home network. Two workstations and a gateway/web/file/mail server. The server has two Intel pro 100 NICs. I install Debian 2.1 and I get the error Neighbor teble overflow when I try to use the network.
I reinstall the system with slackware. I use the same kernel and the very /same etc/init.d/network file on the slackware install (renamed to /rc.inet1). The system works fine. Not a single problem. I just can't figure it out. I really want to use Debian, but I am forced to use Slackware. Funny thing is, this happens on every systems I've tried it on. I have available to me lots of systems. I've used Intel, Tulip, and ne2000 NICs. I don't know what to do. |On 990903 00:54 |Michael Wood ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote the following... | |-----Original Message----- |From: Phill Kenoyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> |To: [email protected] <[email protected]> |Date: 03 September 1999 08:00 |Subject: Re: neighbor table overflow? | |>Its starts when it boots up and trys to start programs like sendmail, and |>never stops.
