I installed the new mandrake release
and promptly setup the ipchain rules
using the 3 step process in the ipchains HOWTO.
It works perfectly for about 20 hours, then
for some reason, the Network just dies., can't ping
anything, including my internal network!.(no error
messages either) I have done
all the updates, but I just can't figure it out.
I reboot, then everything works fine again, for about
another 20 hours. It happens wether the network is
IDLE or actively downloading stuff. sometimes it is
the
only the outside interface that dies.
I have been runn Mandrake 5.3
for a very long time, and it had no problems, so Its
not the hardware. And it is not
I have 2 SMC 10 mbit cards (ne2k)
the outgoing interface is eth1
and the internal interface is eth0
I am using Time Warner's Road Runner, and I am
using a perl MD5 login
script that has been working for the past 10 months
(hourly cron job)
I'm going to try redhat 6.0 if I can't solve this
thing
by this weekend, but Im worried I will run into the
same problem.
