--FL5UXtIhxfXey3p5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I'm having problems with my network connection timing out during large transfers. It's connected to a 10Mbit hub so it's not topping out at the card's maximum throughput. Originally I had a Realtek 8139 card but yesterday I dumped that in favour of a Netgear FA311 (sis chipset) and this seemed to solve all timeout problems of sustained transfers (saturating the connection for a sustained period of time). However, I've just had a couple more timeouts in the last few hours. Obviously I was never sure it was the NIC in the first place but I can't ignore the fact I had a good 20GB transferred without problem yesterday (as opposed to usually around 1GB before the card dies). Data is being uploaded to a Samba server, which reports no errors in the log (and I have no problems uploading a 100Mbit from inside my network). The server is running 4.9-RELEASE and the drive the data is going to is a vinum volume (in case that has any bearing). I'm using ipnat to forward port 139 to inside a jail. Finally, my IP is assigned by a DHCP server -- the lease length is 24h but my IP is static (for the last four months, anyway ;). Any suggestions for the best way to go about tracking the problem down? If anybody needs any more details just ask and I'll do my best to provide. Thanks very much, -lewiz. --=20 I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -| msn:purple@lewiz.net | jabber:lewiz@jabber.org | url:www.lewiz.org |- --FL5UXtIhxfXey3p5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFABWvXItq0KFQv7T8RAjvWAKCKEbGrqGMUgrMATgTQPbt0Ndpy8wCfW625 YsZJsNwkojzPMVcIiiowQIU= =HWLN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --FL5UXtIhxfXey3p5--
