Subject:   Slow machine messing up my ethernet?
Message-ID:  <m0rmfSM-000rbvC@easynet.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have about 6 machines on my private little ethernet.

I was ftp'ing some stuff between a 486DX2/66 running BSD/OS 1.1
with an SMC WD8013EPC and a P5/90 running FreeBSD 2.1.0-Development
with a DEC PCI Ethernet card.  Each file was about 240K and I was 
seeing around 50 to 100K per second transfers.

Every 5 or 10 files the ethernet would be wedged.  None of the
machines on my net could talk to any of the others.

I found that turning of a third machine, 486DX2/66 running
FreeBSD 2.1.0-Development with a SMC Ultra Elite, allowed the transfers
between the 1st two machines to proceed without incident.

I haven't exhaustively tested this, but thought I'd check if anyone
else had run into something similar.

Thanks for any help.
