Hello;

I'm new to Ubuntu and, sadly, not having much success with it. The
problem, however, I think is beyond Ubuntu and a matter of a Kernel
issue I don't seem to be able to solve.

The problems:
1. I am unable to surf websites that are on the local network. I can
surf internet sites.
2. Any SSH session I start which connect me to a local machine, end
up freezing when I do things like execute top or use elinks.
Sometimes just using Pine will cause the entire terminal to freeze.

Example:

Workstation A (with SIS190) --> ssh to Server B on localnet =
terminal window freezes and nothing happens.

However:

Workstation A (with SIS190) --> ssh to Server C on internet --> ssh
to server B on localnet = terminal window operates perfectly well.

I have monitored the logs on Server B but nothing bad appears.
Nothing at all appears, actually, that is out of the ordinary.
Locally, I followed the connection with SSH -vvv but nothing unusual
appears. No errors, nothing at all that would indicate what's going on.

Browsing has similar issues: I can browse anything outside the
localnet, but if I try to access any webserver available on the
localnet, the page fails to appear in the browser (clicking on "View
Source" will show the source code of the page, but it will still sit
there waiting for some response from the webserver that's not coming).

All other machines on the localnet running some flavour of Linux
(mostly Debian and two Slackware) can surf and SSH remotely or
locally, sans problems.

Ifconfig eth0 reports packet errors. Any other machine on the
localnet with Linux on it has no errors. This had me think the issue
was SIS190 related.

A similar problem was reported here, and claimed as fixed in the
current Kernel release:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9467

Someone here showed how they patched the kernel and fixed their problem:

http://www.nabble.com/Gutsy,-FS-V5535-Laptop,-ndiswrapper,-ssh-
problems-td14712606.html

I tried, out of curiosity, but the patch program seemed to indicate
that the patch had already been applied.

Windows XP works perfectly well on this box, allowing to SSH (via
Putty) locally and remotely, and to surf webpages locally and
remotely. Same network settings (IP addresses, DNS servers, etc.) on
XP as with Ubuntu.

On Ubuntu, I installed Putty and any other x-term/terminal window I
could find to test it out with the same results. I used a tty rather
than xserver-xorg and the same problems occur.

I'm not sure what other information to provide that could be more
useful. My apologies for still my lack of tech savvy with the world
of Linux. If you can tell me what you need, I will pass the
information required. Some info below may be of use.

Thank you for any assistance.

leandro
does the machine in question surf the web ok?
oddly enugh, it seems that checking the nic, cable, and the router on
the LAN would be the next places to look for problems. it doesn't
sound as though it's coming from the os, but possibly from the
hardware...
