Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2005 8:47 pm Post subject: unbelivable ..strange things happening with my gentoo-SOLVED |
|
|
hello @ all ....
I have a Gentoo box installed as dsl/router (ppp / rp-pppoe) for my Internet and a laptop as client ...
yesterday I wanted to go to surf a little bit and ... nothing happended. when i "ping"ed a little bit around i notized Response Times > 2 Sekonds (up to over 10 Sek !!!) not only from my laptop but from the router too !
I restarted the gentoo box, re-emerged ppp / rp-pppoe and the Kernel (2.6.11-gentoo-r6) but the problem was still there. I was wondering - if i used the laptop directly with my dsl hardware - all works fine, so the dsl-modem must be ok.
after hours of testing I notized one strange thing:
if I make any IN/OUTput in a SSH session from my laptop to the gentoo box my ping-time was realy good (~30 ms).
After playing a little bit arround i notized that every time I generate traffic on my ETH0 the I-Net (on ETH1 / PPP0) was fast. Can somewone explain me this? I'm doing a "ping -f 192.168.0.xxx" at the moment so I can write you and hope that someone can help me !!!!!
By the way ... we had last week a thunderstorm and thince then my sattelite receiver is going realy crazy too (while watching tv sometimes the screen blanks) - it has an embedded linux too ...
Is it possible that there was a lightning strike or something that smashed my receiver and the Ethernet-card??
... or am I just Mr. LINUX-KILLER
I thought I ' ve had seen a lot .. but this ....  _________________ the german dude with the broken english

Maybe it's just be a misconfiguration:
routing table? ARP table? interface configuration?
additional network configuration (like traffic shapping, firewall...)?

Switch everything off (also the modem) and see if it is still behaving that way.
Nearly all hardware sold nowadays is crap due to immense cost pressure. I've seen this a lot where modems etc. behaved really strange. If u lucky u can fix it by switching them off and on again. Sometimes it really needs a hard reset. |

I reseted the modem and any hardware yesterday and nothing happened. With my Laptop directly connected to the modem everything works fine so I don't think that the modem is it. I didn't configure or install anything on the gentoo-box for maybe 1 month !!
I post you some Output i wonder'ed about:
the first 2 ip-addresses were nameservers from my provider. 84.58.0.1 and 84.58.46.44 were my externel ppp-ips that time

Hope someone can help me ... i don't understand why the internet (also that traffic from the box itself to the i-net) is fast when I generate traffic in my lan !!  _________________ the german dude with the broken english |

bad idea to have two different NIC in the same subnet (at least in most cases it is...)
Sure that this is correct in your case? _________________ Nothing is secure / Security is always a trade-off with usability / Do not assume anything / Trust no-one, nothing / Paranoia is your friend / Think for yourself |

I would agree with Think4UrS11.
Look are your routing table and you see why it is not good to keep 2 NICs in one subnet.
Your routing table shows to routing entries for the same subnet with different outgoing NICs.
If I understand you correctly you only have the DSL Modem at eth1 and nothing else.
So you can take any IP-adress (to be more acurate: any of the reserved for homeuse) for this NIC, e.g. 192.168.55.66. _________________ ...it's only Rock'n'Roll, but I like it! |

I changed the IP of ETH1 just while I was playing around yesterday. I tested with an other IP-Address too but it was the same situation.
My default (when the box is started) is to just bring the ETH1 to the UP-State without an ip-address which work(ed) well for me all the time...
any thips else ??  _________________ the german dude with the broken english |

This is very weird I've never seen something like this except when hardware was damaged. Maybe try with a different new nic.
And if that doesn't help maybe your box got rooted and some binaries affected? Just a guess since this problem seems really weird to me... maybe run chkrootkit and rkhunter to at least make sure the binaries are ok. |

further things you can check
- ACPI enabled? if yes - try to disable
- duplex/speed settings - use ethtool or mii-tools depending on your NIC
- name server problems?
- any iptables rules?
- cabling? try to exchange the cable between DSL and eth1 with one 'known as working' _________________ Nothing is secure / Security is always a trade-off with usability / Do not assume anything / Trust no-one, nothing / Paranoia is your friend / Think for yourself |
