Weird... is the only word for it. With the sound card in use... try pinging another machine on the network, then traceroute to it, etc
I half-suspect theres an IRQ conflict. ---------- From: Destrius[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 23 June 2000 2:43 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: dhcpcd and esound I'm not entirely sure if this is the best forum to ask this question, but I figured I'd try here first before bringing up what may not be a bug to the respective developers. When I run esd, and pump an lot of data into the mixer (like playing MP3s thorugh XMMS, for example), and then run the DHCP client daemon (dhcpcd), the daemon sits there doing nothing (I'm monitoring my network traffic using wmifs, and no LEDs are flashing), till I stop sending data to esound. Once I press the pause button on XMMS, dhcpcd immediately starts intefacing with my ethernet card. Apparently dhcpcd freezes up after dhcpcd[4140]: broadcasting DHCP_DISCOVER and only displays dhcpcd[4140]: broadcastAddr option is missing in DHCP server response. Assuming 202.166.111.255 after pausing XMMS. This does not happen when I'm playing directly to the sound card without going through esd, so it can't be an IRQ conflict between the ethernet card and the sound card. Changing the port esd uses doesn't help either. My guess is that somehow esd is blocking dhcpcd from calling some network function or something along that line. I don't know enough about either program to find out the answer, though. I'm running woody, with the latest versions of esd and dhcpcd. -- +----------------------------------------------+ | Destrius <dest rius @ big foot.com> | | http://web.hjc.edu.sg/~8223332f/ +----------------------------+ +------------------------------------| He walks away, | | Remove spaces in email address | Leaving nothing | +------------------------------------| But a notion of his music. | +----------------------------+ -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
