Some things to look at: Are you getting interface errors: > su - # ifconfig -a Look and see if it is reporting any errors. Use ethtool to see how your nic connected to your network > su - # ethtool eth0 Look specifically at duplex and auto negotiation. It is a very common occurrence (where I work anyway) for the card to auto-negotiate a duplex that is inconsistent with how a switch is set. If this is what's up you can use ethtool to fix the problem until the next reboot. If this is indeed the problem and this fixes it you will want to make the change permanent by updating the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file and adding a line to the bottom that looks something like: ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off" -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Rice Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 12:57 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: scp killing network interface on FC4 Using scp to copy large files onto my FC4 system. After about 100MB the network interface dies. ifconfig says its still up, and I can ping localhost, but trying to ping anything else says unreachable. Requires a reboot to get it back. Any clues? Bad driver? Some sort of rate limiting policy somewhere? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
