Hey all:
I too have not had a single laggy pop since about 10 PM today. I am popping my internal RH 6.2 server with 3 windows machines and 2 RH 7.2 machines. All the windows machines were taking way more time than usual to pop, ftp, telnet, and Samba. I could not reach my samba shares on my 2 RH 6.2 systems yesterday. I spent yesterday checking my 2 hubs and cable ends. Also rebuilt the data base in 2 RH 6.2 machines with rpm --rebuilddb. I have stopped my firewall totally and just forwarded packets and it made no difference. I have rebooted both machines. I stayed up till 3 AM (EST) just to make sure I did not miss something. I worked 12 hours today and got home around 10 PM tonight and everything had cleared up. Samba shares are now reachable. The only log entries that gave me any clues were the messages from /var/log/maillog and that was a consistent over one minute timeout from the pop3 connect to the actual login. Only upping the timeout would stop this from occurring. I ran "top" while I was poping, ftping, telneting and there was no noticeable load on the machine. Note this was only going from my lanned windows machines to either of my RH 6.2 servers on a simple home network. My RH 7.2 machines had absolutely no problem accessing these machines. This is all so coincidental with others from this list. I wish we could find an explanation but I am not going to beat my head in to find the answer like I used to when I was operating my own ISP. My family fortunately will not call me complaining about slow internet access. They just know that Dad's working on it ;-). I have no answer to this but all is well now. I still believe this to be a windows problem but do not know what or how it seemed to remedy itself in 1 day.
