I was copying a file from one box to another when the copy
stopped, waited and resumed. I traced it down to a Linksys switch
that, other than that, didn't exhibit any other problem. <br>
I didn't have time to investigate the issue then and I lost track
of the switch, but my plan was to take a tcpdump trace on both
ends and investigate from there.
<br>
I doubt that a layer 2 problem will show up in the trace though,
and from what I saw, and what you said about killing the dinosaur
download, looks like a level 2 problem to me...

Here's a problem that has me stumped. Using my linux box I've
found I have trouble downloading large files from some sites. I
tried to download a 200MB file from celestiamotherlode.net. It
took a few seconds for the download to begin. Then after a few
seconds, the download would stop for a few seconds. Then it
would resume. I tried a 647MB CD image from debian.org and
downloaded it with no problem. I went to mirrors.easynews.com
and tried to download a copy of the same image file. I had the
same problem with the download stopping for a few seconds,
starting again, stopping a few seconds, starting again and so
on. <br>
Here's the interesting part. I have xp on the dinosaur so I can
play a few games on it. The dinosaur had no problem downloading
the files from celestiamotherlode.net. I had no trouble
downloading multiple files from the same site using the
dinosaur. <br>
At this point I had both machines connected to a netgear router.
The router was connected to the dsl modem which was in bridging
mode. I unplugged the linux box from the router, connected it
directly to the dsl modem and put the dsl modem in routing mode.
Then with the linux box connected directly to the dsl modem, I
tried again. I had the same problem. <br>
Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? Thanks in
advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction. <br>
Thanks <br>
Derek <br>
