2.4 kernel is dropping tcp connections
Does anybody have an idea why under kernel 2.4.x I am experiencing dropping of TCP connections. (No packet filters). With packet captures I saw that my computer send out SYN, I get back SYN-ACK and then my computer responds with RST. Some hosts can regularly be connected, some are regularly dropped although occasionally the connection is established. It never happened with 2.2.x kernel. I am using the suse kernel 2.4.2 currently (2.4.0 had the same problem). The packet contents didn't reveal anything suspicious to my mind. The SYN-ACK packets looked quite similar in both cases. Does anybody have an idea? Kaupo -- Kaupo Palo, Evotec OAI, Instituudi tee 11, Harku EE76902, Estonia E-mail: palo@ebi.ee______________________Phone & Fax: 372-6560601

Please try some kernel from ftp.suse.com:/pub/people/mantel/next/RPM IMHO this problem should be fixed there.
