HELP!! connection breaking down every 30s

[spammerei]

Please help me, I don't know what I can do. When I connect to the Internet, i.e. with emerge, I can download files for a certain period of time, and then it breaks down (~ 30s after the first download).
Only a reboot helps, up/down with ifconfig doesn't show any success.

The thing: When I had it configured during setup with net-setup, it worked - but not in the configuration in conf.d/net, or in dhcpcd etc.

PLEASE... I have to finish it by Monday, and I'd be very pleased if one could help me!!
thousand thanks in advance!! ))

firstly you should post it in section gentoo.what program do you use to connect?have you looked in firewall options ?

[stathisx]

it would be more helpfull if you posted some error messages that you may get...(check in /var/log/messages)...

Hi, the only thing I can find is the following:

localhost hda: dma_timer_expiry_ dma status == 0x24
localhost hda: DMA interrupt recovery
localhost hda: lost interrupt

The messages before are OK.

This messages appears every time the internet crashes!
Who can help to fix it please?

Thank you!

check to disable dma for the hard drive..if you're using suse use yast2 to configure it.although i don't really think that it causes problem to the internet connection...

[spammerei]

You're right and I'm sorry.... this problem just turns up every start, I didn't see it once and thought this had to do sth. with the internet.
Hm, what can then be the cause for that nasty problem? How can I turn up net-setup again?


[update]As to say: With the ISOLINUX from the Live-CD everything works fine, but not with the final installation. The hardware is surely not the reason, because with Microshit everything works fine.[/update]

thanks

since your using gentoo, this means you did a custom kernel compile, did you include support for your networking device, if a generic driver is being used, then that might be contributing.

[spammerei]

Yes, I included 8139too since this was my driver. Furthermore, I included nothing special.
It didn't matter whether I compiled it into the kernel or as a module.

[stathisx]

you can check it with make xconfig in /usr/src/linux-version (if it is loaded as module or compiled into kernel)
