Hi, |

I have decided to try hardened-dev-sources instead of usual gentoo-dev-sources |
| 4 |
on my new server. This machine is not running SELinux, it was installed |
| 5 |
according to a usual Gentoo Handbook. I do not think I have a firewall |
| 6 |
compiled in (I believe I switched off everything related to the firewall. The |
| 7 |
machine is behind an external firewall). |

When I ping this machine I am loosing between 1% to 50% of packets, in a very |
| 11 |
unstable way. From time to time the communication gets stuck and then it |
| 12 |
resumes again after 30s, a minute or so. This affects not only ping, but ssh as |
| 13 |
well. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I have nearly ruled out routing problems. The communication is slightly better |
| 16 |
when trying to reach the server from the same segment, but it is still loosing |
| 17 |
packets (1%). When I am on remote segment the loss is higher (30-50%). This is |
| 18 |
both ways, but it is especially bad form remote machine to server. It is better |
| 19 |
from the server to a remote machine. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
At the same time ping is nearly flawless when communicating between other |
| 22 |
machines on the same networks (4-5 packages lost in a 1000 long session). |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The NIC driver on the server is e1000. Kernel version is |
| 25 |
hardened-dev-sources-2.6.7-r1. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Does anybody have any hint, what might be going wrong? What should I check? |
