I have a HP Vectra 486/33 acting as a gateway between twon 10BASET newtorks, it has been working great for a month or os. Today, it stoped working. After playing around I found that one of the interfaces (ep1) was going into the "OACTIVE" state. By that I mean it would show up with this in the "flags" part of the display for ifonfig. The other one does not do this. When this happens packets don't get sent out that interfacew. A simple ifconfig down ep1 ; ifconfig up ep1 fixes this probelm. The ep man poage does not provide a clue as to the maening of thsi flage. What does it mean? 3.4 STABLE -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95. Buy, lemmings, buy!
