ACCESS RUNNER ADSL CONSOLE PORT 3.24'. On the system there's sendmail from base, w/ drweb-smf 4.30, attached via Milter, squid-2.5.4_8 (from /usr/ports), named from base, micro_httpd (from ports), ipfw + natd (now diverting only pop3 requests from internal subnet) while the system on rest and there's no user activity of internal face, it stands (at least seems so :-) -- can be pinged, ssh'd etc. when the squid is up and running (without any problem, at least from its logs) this behaviour is valid fro several minutes or so.. after that time there's: rl1: watchdog timeout rl1 -- external face, rl0 -- internal this may happen on both faces, on externel one, on internal -- not systematic. after that i can't ping my gateway (adsl model -- a box with ethernet + usb, the latter is not connected still). moreover, after some time i can not ping even th einternal net -- not enough buffers.. >From the outer world the gateway (adsl box) can be pinged all the time.. only reboot of the FreeBSD pc can cure the situation. for several minutes also ;-)) I've tried to down daemons (sendmail, squid, named..) -- the same result, flush firewall -- the same.. But, if I disconnect internal subnet I _can_ fetch from ssh console, originating from the outer world. Read somewhere on the list that MTU can be lowered a little bit -- in vain ;-(( The last thing I've done -- recompiled world + kernel (now it's 5.2.1-RC2 cvsup'd today morning). The same. At the same time i've updated another proxy-server, also equiped w/ two Realtek's and adsl modem (haven't seen the box) -- it rocks. Quite similar config. Moreover, I have about 10 similar configs in different places, and they all really rocks. I could suspect that adsl box, but it runs w/o any problem while working alone... Moreover, while plug-in its (adsl box) ethernet into windows-pc it works w/o any problem (also alone). Can it be the case? (traffic amount maybe?) Provider refuses to exchange the box w/o obviuos reasons, but it's rather obvious behaviour ;-) Similarly he has no what is FreeBSD like: none can work w/ it (also plain to understand ;-) The only difference between these pcs in kernel config -- ehci driver. So the questions are: Should I try to connect that adsl box by usb? Could this malfunction be achieved by activation of ehci driver? Did anyone ever have the same situation? my best regards, Oleg Strizhak PCB Technology WebTeam Moscow, Russia From owner-freebsd-config@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Feb 17 10:13:29 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-config@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2581916A4CE for ; Tue, 17 Feb 2004 10:13:29 -0800 (PST) Received: from mx13.mail.ru (mx13.mail.ru [194.67.23.56]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D2A6343D1D for ; Tue, 17 Feb 2004 10:13:28 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from sp666@inbox.ru) Received: from [195.91.167.164] (port=3814 helo=cyberdust) by mx13.mail.ru with esmtp id 1At9hy-000DxJ-00 for freebsd-config@freebsd.org; Tue, 17 Feb 2004 21:12:34 +0300 Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2004 21:11:38 +0300 From: sp666 X-Mailer: The Bat!
