Well, that could be related, although I don't run Samba on my boxes. > The machine never got more than 30 days of uptime...I've since > replaced the machine with a slightly newer model, but I kept the > realtek nic... :) It hasn't powercycled yet, but it's only been about > a week. Hopefully that will be a fix, from what I remember I've heard people with uptimes of anywhere between a reset every few days to every 30 or more who seemed to have solved it with replacing their NICs. I sure wish I could use my old trusty DEC de204s again, hopefully the support for that will be fixed up. They are old ISA 10m-bit, but they ran faster than the IBM NE2000s I run now.
