Just bcos you have a Cisco switch doesn't mean it can't break. The good switches but they're not indestructible. Also look at the cables themselves are the bough or made? I had a very similar problem a few years ago and it turned out to be the switch I was using. Never rule out anything based on a product name, they all break, eventually. -----Original Message----- From: Harry [mailto:hari76@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2004 7:51 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: Ping Driving me Crazy.... Hi All, Well let me add something more, this has started happening since a couple of days,do any of you think it could be bcos Eth1 which is the Internal Interface is getting clogged with the number of requests that are coming from the Windows Clients?and morever bcos of the Blaster Virus and Vulnerablities on Ports 135:139, the network may be getting jammed and hance not accepting the ping requests!Therefore is it wise to increase the Buffer Limits of TCP requests ?If yes can I know how it can be done? I have also attached the Firewall script that I am using. And Yah cant be a Rj 45/switch issue bcos I am using a Cisco Catalyst 2900 switch, which is fairly a great switch to have. Your thoughts on this will be helpful. Harry "In all this world, there is only you When all else ceases, there is only you" -- to my MASTER!
