Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] Networking in Linux
This morning I used tcpdump to see if the firewall would pass the traffic. The firewall seems to pass the traffic but the Linux or the Solaris systems do not respond. Now the really strange part. When I connect to the VMS system and ping from there the Unix systems I get a response. After that I close the connection to the VMS system and I am able to connect from the outside to the computer that I pinged from the VAX. After 15 minutes the connection is down again.
I seem to remember something vaguely like this happening on machines where the driver for the network card was loaded dynamically via kerneld. On the linux boxes, you can try explicitly insmod'ing all network related modules or even compiling new kernels with the network stuff compiled in. Then of course you would still not know what's up with the solaris box, unless some similar kernel configuration can be done there. - Peter -- Peter N. M.
