Description of problem: New kernel of FC5 has a problem with downloading files larger than 1MB from a Tru64 Unix server. I tried to stop iptables, but the problem still existed. Another kernel that I still have and doesn't have this problem is kernel-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5, however I am not sure if this is the latest version without the above problem. Version of the current kernel that I am using now and has the problem is 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5. I used three different ftp clients and all had the same problem. I used ftp (command prompt client that comes with FC5), ncftp and KGet. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 How reproducible: ftp to a Tru64 Unix ftp server and try to download a file larger than 1MB. Steps to Reproduce: 1. FTP to a Tru64 UNIX ftp server 2. find a file larger than 1MB 3. Try to get the file Actual results: ftp client waits infinitly to receive the file and nothing is received. Expected results: Additional info:
does it start working again if you echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling
I was using HP Test Drive systems at the time that I posted this bug. Unfortunately, Tru64 Unix Servers are no longer available and consequently I am not able to provide the requested information.
