Actually, yes. Try to change the port on the hub, ie stick it into another connector. Sometimes there is a "noisy" port which does what you describe. If that doesn't help, try to play with cables, look for loose wires, try to replace network card.
Well, hope that helps. --- Oleg Kobets Network Administrator ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lior Hammer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 8:01 AM Subject: Problem with Networking > Hello, > I have a very strange problem with networking, > i have an ethernet card, which is connected to a hub. > i didn't change anything, but the connection creation (inside and outside > the LAN) is very slow. > after the connection is created, everything is normal. > when i ping this computer, i get a 'Request timed out' error message. > when i'm trying to connect to some port on this computer (for example: 25), > it takes a few minutes until i get a response, and then everything is > normal. > i tryed to `ifdown eth0|ifup eth0` and restart the computer, but the problem > still exist. > the connection was ok before. > the system is running RedHat Linux 7.2 > someone has a solution? > Thank you. > > > ================================================================= > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
