I have Slackware 7.1 running on a an AMD 133Mhz box with 32Megs RAM.
This is my webserver, shell server, Ip MASQ box, and it locks up alot.
It seems to lock up when I'm downloading on a box in my network behind
it. I am runnign Kernel 2.4.0 on an ADSL line. I have had this problem
with all kernel compiles I have done. I used to run FreeBSD,
then OpenBSD on this box with no trouble. I did not, however, have ADSL
then, so those boxes were just using a dial-up. I think IP MASQ is
lockign the box up at some point. There are no messages in
/var/log/messages, it just stops cold. My PPPOE client, when running
top, never appears to use more than 10% of my CPU. I do not think the
problem is in the pppoe client because the box does not seem to lock up
when I'm downloading on it. (as in ssh'ing in and using lynx). Does
anyone have any ideas on this?
