I'm not sure what causes this. However, I have a situation on my server where... If the power is disrupted my server continues to run on its ups. My cable modem, however, is shut off and reboots when power is restored. From that point on, I have connectivity, but it is slow as hell. I have to shut the firewall completely down (power off) give it about 10 seconds and start her back up. Works every time and starting and stopping the network is insufficient. The best I can guess is that the NIC is hung up on something. By powering off, the NIC loses everything on board so to speak and it re-negotiates speed with the cable modem on its terms rather than the cable modem trying to determine connection settings. If anyone has any ideas for a method other than recycling the power for my problem, I'm all ears. You may want to try my POS solution and see if that may do it. (restarting didn't fix it, had to go power down) Larry -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of c_elber Sent: Monday, June 07, 2004 11:30 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: RedHat 9 stops routing internal packets? Beggingforhelphere..... please... Pete and Ben; Thank you both so much for helping. The problem is everything is getting through. The problem is it is so slow that it essentially times out waiting on the client boxes. So I'll only get say 10 to 20% of a web page before it finally stops. Further my same rules were fine for almost a year then suddenly it slowed waaaaaaaay down. It hasn't stopped just so slow as to be non-responsive. When I turn iptables off then I can't ping beyond the router. Iptables -L hain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination The output to iptables -L is above. I'll get the rest of the data later as I'm currently in the middle of downloading Fedora Core 2 and don't want to interrupt the download, and will proceed to rebuild my server if I can't figure this out! (that will show it who is boss!)
