Hi, I'm new here in this list. My English is not so very well, but I try to explain my problem with iptables: I got a system with SuSE 8.0. It works as a router with an iptables script between 2 static LANs. The Script does it very well, but sometimes it happens that all connections from one LAN to the other are blocked suddenly. /var/log/messages and /var/log/firewall shows the following: fw kernel: eth0: Transmit timed out, status 00, resetting... fw kernel: Rx ring c071a000: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ... fw kernel: Tx ring c071b000: 80008001 80008005 80008009 8000800d 80008011 ... and then: fw kernel: PACKET DROPPED: ..... fw kernel: PACKET DROPPED: ..... fw kernel: PACKET DROPPED: ..... ... The error-message repeats periodically for a few seconds. There are 2 same NICs in that system: D-Link DFE-550TX. After rebooting the system, the firewall works fine again, 'cause the script is loaded at booting the system. Thx 4 help Steffen Trenkler Note: Is there any german-language iptables list?
