I have what is a very odd problem. I donno if it has anything to do with the Shuttle HOT-569 or not though. System: Shuttle HOT-596 MB Intel P-100 32 Meg mem (16 x 2 SIMMS) Generic PCI video card Addtron AN-16C 10 Mbit ISA ethernet card couple of IDE hard drives, and a floppy Main Operating System: Linux, but have double checked with Win95a Brief Description: I can not telnet out of, or to this machine, though I can ping from it, and to it. When trying to telnet out, it does find the remote machine, but never actually connects. Eventually the connect times out. When telnetting to the machine, one never completely makes it. Under Linux, I do a 'netstat --inet' and it says the status of the telnet session is "SYN_WAIT". I have run win95 off of that CPU to double check things, and I get the same things. How I know it is CPU related: I put my Intel P-233 in that same machine, and all worked fine. Long Description: First, read the short description. ok, at http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu.html you can read this: Second class Pentiums, which require a higher voltage or are not capable of multi processing Intel is actually releasing different kinds of Pentiums. Some are not capable of multi processing, others have to have a higher supply voltage to run correctly. You have to realize, that Intel is not having a different production line for each clock speed, but is in real now producing more or less only one dye. After the chips have been produced, they are tested, and regarding how they performed in the test, the clock rates are chosen. Some chips would work correctly on a special clock rate only with a higher voltage, which means also getting hotter. Others wouldn't work with multi processing. To find out which kind of CPU you have or are offered, you have to have a look on the bottom side of the chip, where's written something like e.g. SK 106 SSS. These last three letters can tell you what kind of CPU you have, and here's the list. It's obvious, that you should try hard getting a chip, that runs at 3.3 V(Standard) ather than 3.4 to 3.6 V (VRE), and maybe it makes you feel better to know that you've got a real Pentium, that works with multi processing as well, though you won't be able to use multi processing on a Triton board. If you should be into overclocking, it's almost inevitable to get a SSS-chip, because than you still can increase the voltage on the motherboard to get it running at a higher clock speed (as long as you cool it well !). I looked, and I do have a "SSS", so I should have the "real thing" over at http://www.intel.com/procs/support/faqs/ppfaqx2.htm#twentyone you can read... My BIOS tells me that I have an "S" version of the Pentium processor. What does this mean? Primarily the "S" means that you have an Award BIOS. The background is that a few years ago we introduced the ‘S’ series of the Intel486 processor; this series of processors included advanced ‘SL’ enhanced power management features. These features are also available on versions of the Pentium processor. Award BIOS recognizes the presence of these features, and accordingly prints the ‘S’ to your monitor at boot-up time. To date, we haven’t heard of any other BIOS vendor which reports this. Mine also does report being a Pentium-S on boot up.... you can then go up to... http://www.intel.com/procs/support/faqs/ppfaqx2.htm#eight and read... I have a 100 MHz Pentium processor. Should I configure it in 2x core/bus (100/50 MHz) mode or 1.5x (100/66 MHz)? You will get better performance operating this part with a 66 MHz external bus. However, it is possible that memory wait state settings may need to be adjusted to account for operation at 66 MHz. I have tried both. It actually seems that the HOT-569 uses the 66MHZ seeting. both had the same problems..could ping whatever I wanted, but couldn't use telnet...or..for that matter any TCP/IP based thing (I think I said that right, can't telnet, ftp, www, pop, anything, except for ping and traceroute) In general, the system runs fine, without any problems. However, using it with the network (unless one enjoys just pinging) is pretty useless. This all seems a bit odd to me, and not sure I understand it. I am sure someone out there has had this problem?? Any help you could offer would be wonderful. it would also help me if you emailed me your response also ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) benji (:----------------------Benji Spencer--------------------------:) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.enteract.com/~spunge [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ripco.com/~spunge [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://anduin.eldar.org/~ben -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
