I am using a P200 MMX as an Fileserver. After i upgraded it to an 100
Mbit/s NIC (tulip chip and 3Com "Vortex" tried) i am getting the follwing
behaviour: The network stack seems to "block" when sending files to the
machine with full 100 Mbit/s. There are -no- kernel messages. Doing a ping
an the machine gives all ping packets back in "one bunch". Even after
stopping accesing the machine at full speed (stopping the transfer) i am
just getting this "packaged" ping reply (9000 ms and more).
A ping -f -s 65000 will also lock up the machine. Doing an ifdown -a ;
ifup -a resloves the problem until the next "flood".
Regards
CD
