Hi, I posted about amonth back about a Vectra 486/33 that I am setting up as a gateway box between 2 networks. I am using 2 3C509 cards. At the timne I could reliably hange up the networks by simply running an Amanda backup accros them, This of coures results in a steady high bandwitdth transfer. At teh time I was using 3.4 STABLE. It was sugested that I upgarde to 4.0 STABLE because it had a significantly improved ep driver. I did ths, with some help from this list n the chages in configuring the ep driver under 4.0 (thanks). Well the good news is, it's better. The bad nes is it is till possible to get it to hang :-( It hangs in the OACTIVE state, if that's helpfule, and just doing an ifconfgi dow, folowed by an ifconfig up on the hung card wull cause it start working again for a while. It's alwasy during one of these big Amanda trabsfers that it hangs. Both cards are using 10BASEt caeing, and I have swaped computers, and both cards at this point in time. In addition I have set up an identical computer using NE2000 clones (D Link), and put it in the same service. I has never hung up. I geuss I could buy 2 more NE2000 clones, but I have a ton of these 3C509's from work where they are converting to 100MHZ. Cany anyone sugest any way to help debug this problem. I would be happy to do anything that will help in getting this fixed. Thanks. -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95.
