I have a hP Vectra 486/33 with 2 4COM cards in it that I have been using for a gateway between 2 networks for about a month now. yesterday I started trying to use amanda across this gateway. It would go fine for a while and then hang. Debuging revelaed that one of the cards had changed it's flags as read with ifconfig. It had added the flag OACTIVE. A simple ifconfig down ep1 and ifconfig up ep1 wouyld restore this card to normal operation. No packets were being sent out this card while the OACTIVE flag was set. The ep man page does not give me a clue as to what this flag means. Could some kind soul tell me what this flag means? Also any advice as to why this is hapeneing woudl be appreciated. The 2computers doing the manda exchange are both fairly fas (PII/350 FreeBSD machine and HP B1000). 3.4 STABLE if it matters. Thanks for any help on this. I need to get this fixed ASAP. -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95. Buy, lemmings, buy!
