Hello list. I've been reading this mailing list for a while now and have |
2 |
taken great pleasure in reading some of these e-mails. But now the time has |
3 |
come for me to present a problem I hope you all can help me with. I |
4 |
recently reinstalled Gentoo (stage3) after my hard drive crashed in my |
5 |
server (it sounded like the hard drive arm was waltzing across the |
6 |
platters). I followed the home router guide, |
7 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml, as I've done before, and |
8 |
as before I emerged dhcp instead of using dnsmasq as my dhcp server. Ever |
9 |
since I reinstalled I've had a problem where I've had to disable/enable my |
10 |
NIC in windows and powercycle my MTA (Motorola vt1004, Vonage) to get a |
11 |
connection; if I attempt to traceroute from my Windows XP box it gives the |
12 |
error "request timed out". I thought it was something wrong with the DHCP |
13 |
server so I set static IPs on both the MTA and Windows box, but I woke up |
14 |
this morning and it is still doing it. Again, I had to disable/enable my NIC |
15 |
in windows and powercycle my MTA to get the connection working on both the |
16 |
windows box and the MTA. No cables had to be unplugged/replugged and |
17 |
nothing else reset. |

Any suggestions? |
