Ok, I have since reinstalled Mandrake and was lazy and didn't do the kernel update (as suggested by updates page for security) and the network survived the 20 hr mark. (where the network died before) I didn't realize this (I attributed this to something else) and updated the kernel to 2.2.9-27mdk. 20 hours later, the network died!. So I'm back to the original kernel 2.2.9-19mdk (with the "networking security bug" and all. I don't know what to attribute this to. My past suspicions relate to the dhcpcd, but I have no idea if that relates to the kernel. If anyone has ideas on why this works let me know, thanks! --- ShawnDo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 04:19:58 -0400 (EDT) > From: ShawnDo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [expert] Firewalling on 2.2 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > 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.
