Broken ethernet connection using cabletron switches

807559Aug 28 2001
I have a problem with PC connected to our
in house net.
I am using a Athlon 1100 With ASUS A7V-Board
as a server.

When i am downloading patches form a Netra X1
Domino-server there is a good chance to break
the ethernet connection. The ethernet card
just disconnects form the network.

This happens with a 3Com 905 B and a
Intel EtherExpress 10/100 (S?)

The 3Com can be reactivated by
ifconfig elxl0 down unplumb
ifconfig elxl0 plumb `cat /etc/hostname.elxl0` up

With the Intel Card
ifconfig iprb0 down unplumb blocks!!!

Since the same thing has happend a single time
with my "Workstation" (166 MMX, Intel 10/100) i
suspect the switch.

has anyone made experiences like this ?

P.S.: You need load for the crash min 2-3 MB/s
