Hi List,
has anyone else noticed the network connectivity in Mandrake 9.0 goes
dead periodically? It's very annoying and it seems to be linked to
Shorewall firewall system.
Nope, just you :-) It's probably not shorewall, as shorewall's policy
doesn't change on the fly -- if it's preventing you from doing
something, it will always prevent you from doing that thing. You could
always verify that with a quick /sbin/service shorewall stop.
Intermittent network has a lot of possibilities, and the best way to
troubleshoot is to walk up the OSI stack -- first check the physical
(very important with wireless, so look at signal strength and
noise-to-signal ratio), then look for framing errors in ifconfig's
output, then look at higher level functions. You might also look through
syslog for error messages from your NIC driver.
Hi Jack,
Good ideas...thanks. I'll check into that.
