I'm currently having problems with my network, and I'd like to know the best way to go about diagnosing the problem. Are there any utilities that I can use to assist in this process?
The problem seems to be that whenever large amounts of information are sent accross the lan to one machine (bristlenose) it freezes, but not when the same info is passed across the network the other way. An example of this is: I log into bristlenose from arowana and cat /vmlinuz and it works fine (the terminal needs to be reset, but it works) I log into arowana from bristlenose and cat /vmlinuz and it is jerky, with the pauses becomming longer until it finally stops altogether, halfway through. This affects almost everythign I do on the net, as arowana currently acts as my gateway, and bristlenose as the client, so sending mail works fine, but retrieving it doesn't. (although retrieving it to arowana works fine) Any help solving this is greatly appreciated, Andrew Clark. PS. I'm subscribed to the digest, so please CC me.
