Hi, ok, some details: ping www.ibm.de from that particular system show : host unknown but from any other system I get an response. this is an 3Com Fast Ethernet PCI card in a Firewall (!!?). So I think it is an (security) problem, or? alex medvedev <alexm@pycckue.org> am 09.02.2000 19:23:20 An: suse-security@suse.com Kopie: Thema: Re: [suse-security] netstat -s hi, does not sound like security problem. sounds like the socket buffer space is too small. maybe tx/rx queue size on the adapter? btw, i can ping both sites :) On Wed, 9 Feb 2000 gerhard.possler@westernacher.de wrote:

Hi, can tell me somebody what that is:

by using: netstat -s

I receive:

TcpExp: 10 packets pruned from receive queue because of socket buffer overrun 221088 packets dropped from out-of-order queue because of socket buffer overrun

the problem is I cannot ping www.ibm.de but www.de.ibm.com www.ibm.de is an alias of www.de.ibm.com
