It seems that NewReno is switched on by default in current.
Unfortunately switching off NewReno does not change the problem. In
times of very high network-traffic I am still unable to use the network.
The system does not even respond to a ping where as all other systems I
have (HPUX 10.20, 11.0 and NT4) behave as expected: slow response-times,
but still working and ping-able.
At home I am using this Laptop in a 100MB-Network and am able to almost
saturate the link without any problems. Could it be that this is just
happening for multicast-packets (that's what the high network-traffic
is)?
Anything else I could check?
TIA
Michael
