HP/UX NFS client (and general TCP/IP) problems with FreeBSD?

2003-12-01 Thread Thomas David Rivers

I've been scouring the net looking for someone else that
has a similar problem; but I haven't found anything.

The situation we have is a new HP/UX 11.0 system, which is
doing an NFS mount from a FreeBSD 4.3 system.   Even though
we've dropped to NFS V2 and set the rsize/wsize on the HP/UX
client to 1024 each - we're still seeing *terrible* performance
on the HP/UX side... as if packets are being dropped right-and-left.

In general - it seems TCP/IP between the HP/UX system and
the FreeBSD server (even, say, FTP) moves really slowly.

However, the HP/UX box communicates just find with the Solaris
server.

Has anyone seen this before?   And, if so, any recommendations
on proper settings?

- Thanks! -

 my e-mail address directly in any follow-up.

It's not related to this problem, but using 5.x for a remotely located
box is a really bad idea.  Stick with production releases for that
purpose.  

Deleting the default route from the command line like that should not
have any remaining effect after a reboot.  Something else is probably
wrong, and you need more information.

You probably have the aliases added wrong, but we can't know without
knowing what you *do* have configured for your primary addresses, and
what the networks connected are supposed to be.

Does anyone know what this command, route delete default, did?  After using 
it the box reboots but will not go online so I can log in remotely as this 
is not an on premise box.  I need to tell the tech's what I need done in 
order to repair it.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've had the same message multiple times when my default route would be 
equal
to the IP number of an interface of the box on a 4.8-REL box.

For instance:

Interface xl0 has IP address 192.168.2.2/24 configured on it locally
Interface rl0 has IP address 10.0.5.1/24 configured on it locally
The default route of the box is set to 192.168.2.2

This would cause a loop displaying the exact error message on the console, 
and
the box would become dead slow.

This for me was solved by simply typing:

route delete default

HERE IS THE ORIGINAL POSTING

  OK, this is difficult to explain and my problem is probably bigger than 
what I have found but here goes.  I have a dedicated 5.1 FreeBSD box and 
when I did a dmesg I received a repeating message as follows:
arplookup 66.246.xx.1 failed: host is not on local network
 This peaked my curiosity so I pinged the bank of IP's I have in the range 
of that IP and I was able to ping them with a response.
 Something quick I can do to test to see if the IP will bind is compile an 
IRC bouncer.  I found the bouncer would not bind to the IP 66.246.xx.185 as 
a normal account user and the bouncer would not function.  If I SU to root 
and start the bouncer the IP would bind and the bouncer would function 
correctly.  It should be noted that the bouncer was compiled as the normal 
account user.
 I have two different sets of IP's on my box and I have added them in the 
rc.conf in the following way:
ifconfig_sis0_alias10="inet 209.123.xx.200 netmask 255.255.255.255"
ifconfig_sis0_alias11="inet 66.246.xx.185 netmask 255.255.255.255"
 Do I have the IP's added wrong in rc.conf?  What am I doing wrong? Why do 
I receive the dmesg which appears to be an error?  Any assistance would be 
appreciated.

Hi, Ben

   What's the output of command "netstat -nr" ?
