Hi All I upgraded the linux distribution on a server. The old distribution came with a 2.2.x kernel and the current one has a 2.4.x kernel.
With the 2.2.x kernel, I didn't have any network card problems. With the new kernel, I loose network connectivity (box is fine, just no network until I reboot) every few days. The error all over dmesg is: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out I thought instead of using the default kernel I'd upgrade and I'm now running 2.4.17, however, the problem is still there. I should mention I didn't use ipchains when it ran a 2.2.x kernel but I'm now using iptables on the 2.4.x kernel. Also, the network card is using the tulip driver which is compiled into the kernel. Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Gonzalo. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
