Networking with .0.9.49...

[Michael Coyle]

Hello Gang,

With the new 0.9.49, I leave networking with it's default setting:

netdev: eth0

And here is what happens under the MacOS. Using utilities to ping and
trace,everything looks great, but in reality, I can't get anywhere.

Netscape (Mac) says it has found a host and is connecting, but it never does.

Eudora gets as far as sending a password, but never farther.

It's like it's _almost_ there. I'm using Ben's 2.2.17pre16-ben1 kernel.
Any ideas?

Thnaks,
Michael

I do not know what you are using that is at 0.9.49, since you never said,
but this sounds like an MTU setting problem. If you are using DSL with
PPPoE or something similar, add this:
MTU=1400
to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 or whatever file your
interface uses.

Again, I may be wrong, but this looks like an MTU FAQ.
