Certainly. I have a LAN, with two switches in a stack. There currently are 7 WinXP clients and one linux machine. The linux machine acts as a samba server and as a firewall/gateway. The two ports of the PRO/1000 in the linux box are connected to the LAN (eth4) and to a Comcast modem (eth3) respectively. Shorewall 3.4.5 is running on the linux machine, with a strong firewall + NAT setup. Further, the linux machine currently has a tap device bridged into the LAN side, for virtualbox. Therefore, eth3 is a plain ethernet interface. br0, on the lan side, is tap0 + eth4. If I get any client on the LAN side, I can read from the linux box without a problem. However, if I attempt to write to the linux box from a LANside client, it will fail. If traffic is low, the failures are sporadic. If traffic is high (large file and/or multiple incoming files) the failure is guaranteed, either in 'delayed write fail' mode on the client or in silent corruption of the file (much worse). If read/write activity is combined, for instance when I unzip a zip archive to its own directory, failure is guaranteed and rapid, with a 'delayed write fail' on the client after 50MB or so. I can post .config and anything else you may want if you require it. I tried changing cable as you suggested with little success. I'll try changing switch port, just to cover all bases. > > Auke > - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
