Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I wanted to change the router/firewall at a small office lan to hardened |
| 4 |
gentoo. The machine in question sits between a consumer grade adsl modem |
| 5 |
and 3 different networks (so a total of 4 eth cards on the server). |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
However, there is a high packet loss (25-50%) between server and adsl |
| 8 |
modem. cat /proc/net/dev reveals high error count on the receive side of |
| 9 |
the eth card connected to modem (transmit side has no errors). I changed |
| 10 |
the eth card and the network cable but the problem stays the same. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
The same eth card and cable works without any errors with a FC3 server. I |
| 13 |
am beginning to think that the errors are because of a faulty (on my part) |
| 14 |
sofware config. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I am out of ideas to try. Any pointers to possible causes of high packet |
| 17 |
loss are highly appreciated. |
