Our network was recently changed to a cicso-based vlan system. I am not a network export, so I can't give many details here). Since the upgrade, the Debian (stable/testing) machine on my desktop has had intermitent problems with the network. Our network admin tells me that there is a known problem with 3com network cards. Tthe machine in question is a three year old gateway pc with a 3c905B card in it (built in, although not on the mother board). Sometimes I get frequent transmit timed out errors and sometimes I don't. When I put in a linksys LNE100TX card, I get similar problems.
Is there anyone out there who has seen such a problem who can give me a hint on where to go with this? Our linux admins primarilly support redhat, and, while they haven't suggested it yet, I'm afraid they'll eventally suggest that I drop Debian and go that route if I want support. And I don't want to do that! Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
