Cross" To: freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Network problem with 2.2.6-STABLE Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was doing a network backup of my machine with the following command earlier today: dump 0uf - /home | nc backuphost backupport (and on the backup server, a solaris 2.5.1 machine) nc -l -p backupport >/path/client.home.980503.dump all was going fine until about 75% of the way through the transfer when an intermediate router went down, at this point I started to notice some pecularities on my FreeBSD 2.2.6-stable machine (-stable from 5-1-98). I could not even ping machines on my local network, it would givean error similar to (sorry I I did not write it down): "ping: no network buffers available", any telnet requet, etc would just hang indefinititely, the offending dump and nc programs finally died, but I was still unable to do anything until after a reboot of my machine.
