Re: neighbor table overflow?
Let me explain the network.
I have three systems on a home network. Two workstations and a
gateway/web/file/mail server. The server has two Intel pro 100 NICs. I
install Debian 2.1 and I get the error Neighbor teble overflow when I try to
use the network.
I reinstall the system with slackware. I use the same kernel and the very
/same etc/init.d/network file on the slackware install (renamed to
/rc.inet1). The system works fine. Not a single problem. I just can't
figure it out. I really want to use Debian, but I am forced to use
Slackware.
Funny thing is, this happens on every systems I've tried it on. I have
available to me lots of systems. I've used Intel, Tulip, and ne2000 NICs.
I don't know what to do.
