Description of problem: I am having a lot of problems with my Fedora Core 6 server connection going down when traffic increases. I bought a new switch (mine is quite old) in hopes of fixing the problem, however, that seems to have exacerbated the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always - Consistent Steps to Reproduce: 1. Running kernel: 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6 2. Increase traffic by ftp'ing, or downloading something (reproducible with different methods of increasing network traffic) 3. between 15 and 60 seconds later, the connection will be lost. Actual results: connection is lost Expected results: connection should be maintained Additional info: There is a lot of info and prior conversations and diagnostics with other linux experts in the Linux community at the link provided. Please look there for details. I am happy to contribute more diagnostics if needed: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=149419
I just updated my kernel to 2.6.19-1.2911.6.4.fc6 and I am no longer able to reproduce the problem. Let's set this bug to "waiting to be reproduced" until I prove that I can consistently reproduce the bug.
