compaq / HP ProLiant DL580
Hi List, is there someone on this list who runs a Compaq ProLiant DL580 with SuSe 9.0 pro. We have problems with the hardware perhaps the nic. After a few minutes the interfaces are not able to make any ip to mac resolution. Arp requests for eg. the mac of the firewall turn <incomplete>. Some sniffing on the network shows that the server send out arp requests the fw answers with reply packets but the server does not recognize these answer packets. A rcnetwork restart solves the problem for a few minutes. Even a static arp entry does not solve the problem. At the time when no manual arp resolution is possible the communication stops in spite of the static entries. The NIC was exchanged by HP but the problem remains the self. Linux Version 2.4.21-166-smp4G Slot 5 PCI - 66MHz Capable ......... Additional Pci Device 4 .............. Compaq NC3134 Fast Ethernet NIC Additional Pci Device 5 .............. Compaq NC3134 Fast Ethernet NIC Thanks & regards Daniel

Dan, Did you Smart Start the box before installing Linux? Every time we did not SS a Compaq box before installing Linux, we had problems... -- _____________________________________________________________ A Message From L.
