It occurs while running VNC ( http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc) . Ping, telnet and even IP Masquerading are working fine on all machines. I have one Power Mac with PPCLinux (R5-Kernel 2.2.6-15apmac) , an Intel box (Red Hat 6.0 - Kernel-2.2.5-15) which is the gateway and an AMD box (RedHat 5.1- Kernel 2.0.34). I only see this error on PPC Linux console when transmitting to the Intel box with either Linux or Windows 95 (Sorry it came with PC and used it to see if it was just Red Hat 6.0 causing my problem). I am betting I need to increase the timeout in the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/mace.c file? Although I don not understand why, since the connection to the AMD box is fine. I swapped the ethernet cards (except the built-in) /cables and hub ports and always get the same problem. I even disabled IP Masquerading think that was the problem ... but I still had the problem. I am not sure but I think the line I need to change is in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/mace.c file shown below? Not sure what to change it to? #define TX_TIMEOUT HZ /* 1 second */ Any ideas about my problem and/or the meaning of the HZ would be helpful.
