| |
Hello,
I have some weird problems using plip under 1.3.7X and greater. My setup:
Linux server running IP forward/gateway/firewall/masquerade (with fixes from David Bonn) connected to DOS machine running crynwr's plip and NCSA's telnet.
What works: I can make two-way connections from server to client and vice versa with no problem (telnet into server, ftp, finger, etc). And I can make two-way connections to foreign sites from client, as well. Basically, everything works beautifully and I know I have it all set up right (fingers crossed :)
The problem: Every now and again, at seemingly random intervals, the connection freezes up completely (for client to anywhere; not just outside network). This happens sometimes as soon as the first few packets are transferred, other times it'll last for hours...
On the server machine, I get massive Socket destroy delayed messages. These will not end until I bring down the plip interface and restart it again. Then everything is fine until the next time it goes down. Once, I received an Oops and an Aiee when I brought the interface back up.
Is there anything I can do to track to problem further?
