I had this Dliink DI-LB604 up and running and it was working just great, distributing the load between the two Internet services. In fact, it was working so well that I wrote a how-to article about it that I intended to post on my website., including some graphics of the various setup screens and the like. Ironically, that's when I got bit. Hard. I use rsync to transfer files to my webserver. I completed the article and started uploading it and got about halfway through the graphics and blammo! The router locked up. After power-cycling the router I tried it again and it locked up again at the same point. Further experimentation showed that I can reliably lock up the router doing a scp copy of a file over about 500k to any outside server. In fact, it reliably craps out at the same point pretty much every time. Oddly enough, it works great with everything else, including logging into a remote system via ssh. In fact, it reliably works when I run a remote VNC session over SSH. It's just a file copy from here to there that locks it up. I called Dlink tech support and the guy there had never heard of such a problem. Ultimately, after trying several things (reduce MTU, disable and physically unplug the second modem, move the modem from WAN1 to WAN2) he said there's nothing that he can do to help me and I should return the router to where I purchased it. He will pass the problem report along to the engineering department. So.... any recommendations for a good load balancing router that I could get instead of this one? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
