Hello All: I waited some time to post this because I use Comcast Cable and as you may recall that just went from @home to their own ISP @comcast.net. I am having trouble with intermittent stalling of my gateway box. Here's the information for that box:
Running SuSE 7.2 Pro. 2 NIC cards (LNETX100 and RTL8139) set as eth0 and eth1, where eth0 is connected to the cable modem and uses dhcpd to get it's IP address and eth1 is connected to the home LAN and routes/ masquerades using iptables and SuSEfirewall2 v1.7. It has 128 megs of RAM in a AMD-K6-2 400 CPU and a 2.1 G HDD. Yes, I know I don't need it, but KDE is installed by default and only used when I want to use KMail. The system runs beautifully, doing what I set it up to do - route. But every now and again, it just stops and I have do the windoze thing reboot. I tried rcnetwork restart and rcroute restart to no avail. Only rebooting fixes it until the next time. Once, I left it overnight and the problem fixed itself. Tried that again, and it didn't. I do notice in tty1 that SuSEFirewall2 says it must run dhclient and it is turned on in the rc.config.firewall2, but dhclient ALWAYS fails at boot up. Any thought, suggestions? More info needed? Thanks in advance, Keith B. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
