I'm having some minor problems with collisions on my 2-node network. Or maybe it's major, depends on wether you think 482,653 collisions is a lot for a 5 day period :/
My configuration -> (server) Debian Linux 2.1 Linux 2.2.6 Realtek 8129 100B-TX 32MB ram 4GB 7200RPM UW Scsi HD Hub Netgear FE104 100MB 4-port hub(with handy little orange collision light) Client Windows 95/98/NT4 Realtek 8129 100B-TX 128MB Ram I set both systems to half duplex, and that reduced the collisions some..i have seen that interacting with samba causes a lot of collisions(many more then using FTP) Also something that is strange. copying a 50MB file from Client(win95) to server(linux) via SAMBA results in thousands of collisions copying a 50MB file from server(linux) to client(win95) via *SMBFS* results in maybe 10-20 collisions(approx the same when using FTP) I cannot go to 10Bt as my hub is 100BT only. Any ideas ? I don't mind the collisions..although it can cause problems with windows sometimes my machine locks up..it seems windows can't handle so many collisions at times..linux keeps chugging along :) I didn't notice this problem till I got the hub and saw my collision light flashing like mad. if you can cc: this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] that would be MUCH apperciated thanks!! btw, i run a linux-based ISP and i dont have this problem there(3 linux servers, 10Mbit each) nate
