Hi,
This is almost certainly not a specific Debian problem, but my
potato installation always exhibits a strange pause in updating
routing information after dial-up.
After successful handshake and allocation of an IP and and nameserver
entries (from the log), there is 10 - 20 second delay before route(1)
will show *any* entries: it just shows the "Destination Gateway ..."
header hangs/block. Very strange.
I have had problems before with stalled file transfers and managed to
fix that by disabling Van Jacobson style TCP/IP header compression for
my ISP [thought I'd mention those keywords for people glimpsing for
that problem on this list].
As usual (cringe) when Win2000 connects using the same modem, line and
account, hand-shake completes in mere seconds and packets start to fly
straight away.
Just wondering if anyone has seen something like this before.
Thanks,
James
