With recent kernel >=2.6.27 i can't make large file transfert (via any protocol) with my local server anymore. The file transfer begin and after some seconds (sometimes minutes) it hangs on and i can't connect to my home server anymore even if i reboot my pc! But internet still works (i can connect to my home server using external ip, but not with local one). For example with nfs, nfsiod freeze and can't be even killed! i suspect (but not sure) that kernel kills my lan eth, or can't handle it correctly. But if i boot windows it can connect to my home server. so i reboot in linux but still no connection! i'm using a Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 02) on a asus f5sl-ap247e notebook. i'll attach emerge --info and some other stuff Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make large file transfer from my home server to this pc

Created attachment 183680 [details] my current kernel config my current kernel config if it can be usefull. If you need other info, just ask. Thanks for the help
I've forgotten one thing: ifconfig show some errors in packet RX etho Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:23:54:88:84:9b inet addr:192.168.0.102 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::223:54ff:fe88:849b/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2090 errors:33 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:33 TX packets:1284 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:867585 (847.2 KiB) TX bytes:267799 (261.5 KiB) Interrupt:19 Base address:0xdead

The first file libsmpi_test.c~ is 15.6 KB but only 819 bytes are transferred then scp freeze, i can wait days but it don't want to transfer, so i kill the process.

Ehm i'm a little embarassed... i can't reproduce the issue anymore....... it is......... disappeared. As i said yesterday i've updated the system (i do it once every 2 or max 3 weeks) and now the issue is gone. But the kernel is still the same!!! From 5 months to today almost every single transfert was failing........ i've done a lot of works to try to figure it out without luck...........and now they just works..... I have totally no idea why (may be only a lucky period?) I apologize for your time loss, really. This is a good example of Murphy law i think. Do you understand? 5 months, and 2 day after contacting you the problem seems solved (and i don't even know how!!).
